Step 1

Whisk half of the salt, pepper and garlic powder together with the Chinese rice wine to make the marinade. Add the chicken and mix well with your hands ensuring the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 2

Allow to marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish or overnight. The longer the chicken rests in the marinade the better.

Step 3

When ready to air fry, pre heat the air fryer to 200C/400F.

Step 4

Pour the flour onto a plate and add the remaining salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then dust each piece of chicken with the flour mixture.

Step 5

Be sure to shake off any excess flour. Brush each chicken piece with a little oil. Cooking in small batches, place a few pieces of chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes or until crispy.

Step 6

With all the chicken fried, it’s time to make the sauce. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl then transfer to an air fryer safe cake or loaf tin. AIr fry at 180C for 5 minutes. If you would prefer, you can heat the sauce on a stove in a wok instead.

Step 7

The sauce should now be simmering. Add the fried chicken. I usually add the chicken to the sauce in batches too as it is easier to ensure that it is all equally coated. Ensure that they chicken is heated through and then add the toasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions(scallions) to serve.

Step 8

I like to serve Korean fried chicken with plain white rice.
