To pair with the chicken, I decided to make a simple Kimchi Ramen. Speaking of sticky, it’s also got that signature stickiness that makes you want to use your hands to eat. The sauce has this gorgeous hue makes it more mouthwatering, and it sticks to the chicken without turning it soggy. It’s also slightly spicy, with a nice sesame oil undertone that just kind of rounds everything up nicely. It’s that combination of sweet, salty, and garlicky that just seems to tug at all the right spots of the tastebuds. (My health-conscious butt also does lol.)ĭespite the lengthy list of ingredients, this Air-Fryer Korean Fried Chicken is pretty simple, and it gets double air-fried for some crunch! The sauce is where it’s at though.
Personally, my lazy butt almost always gravitates toward this alternative. Maybe the result is not 100% the same as deep-frying, but it’s closer than one might expect. Deep-fried foods are delicious but they’re not nutritious, and I love that we can circumvent all of that by using an air-fryer.
Sometimes, it’s simply a hassle to deep-fry. All the credit goes to I Am A Food Blog for the recipe!Īs much as I enjoy eating Korean Fried Chicken, the prospect of deep-frying often turns me off. I’m not exaggerating here, because damn, this is really good chicken. Even though I often get aggravated because Russ’s basket tray thing doesn’t smoothly slide in and lock on the first try, it’s now currently on regular rotation in our kitchen, cooking stuff like this truly awesome Air-Fryer Korean Fried Chicken.
