Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 pieces chicken tenders
  • 1 cup crushed corn flakes
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 stalks green onion (whites and greens separated)
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl to create an egg wash. In another bowl, mix the crushed corn flakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, ensuring a good coating, then transfer it to the bowl of seasoned corn flakes. Coat each piece thoroughly, pressing the flakes onto the chicken.
  4. Place the coated chicken tenders in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Korean style sauce by heating avocado oil in a small pan over medium heat, sautéing the minced garlic and white parts of green onion until fragrant.
  6. Add gochujang, honey, ketchup, mirin, and sesame oil to the pan, mix well and simmer for a few minutes.
  7. Toss the cooked chicken in the sauce until well coated, then garnish with green parts of the onion and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Use fresh chicken tenders for the best texture. Preheating the air fryer is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.
