Name: Gochujang Chicken Thighs
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces; 3 tbsp gochujang; 1 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tbsp honey; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 3 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium; ½ tbsp toasted sesame oil; 3 garlic fresh; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tsp black pepper to taste; scallion chopped (for garnish); lao gan ma chili oil for serving

Instructions

Mix all ingredients except chicken in a bowl to create marinade.
Add chicken pieces to marinade and coat well in quart bag. Marinate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
Remove chicken from marinade and place in air fryer basket.
Air fry for 11 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve over rice, garnished with green onions and drizzled with chili oil if desired.

Notes

This usually makes more marinade than necessary for that amount of chicken, so I save some in the fridge for later (Tofu also works well with this)
Don’t add baking powder - the marinade provides enough browning agents
Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness
Internal temperature should reach 165°F
