A delicious take on classic Korean bulgogi using chicken thighs, marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, then cooked to perfection in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 Korean pear (or apple/pear juice substitute)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (optional for spice)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Korean pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, avocado oil, and gochujang until smooth.
  2. Coat the chicken in the marinade and let it rest for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 385°F.
  4. Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Cook for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a hot skillet and sear until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side.
  7. Plate the chicken, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate overnight. Adjust gochujang based on desired spice level.
