Description
Crispy, golden wings coated in a light batter and glazed with a sweet and savory sauce, this Air Fryer Korean Fried Chicken brings restaurant-quality flavor to your kitchen with minimal effort. Ideal for game nights or casual meals.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken wings (about 12–16 wings)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste, optional for heat)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry and cut them into drumettes and flat pieces.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken piece first in the beaten eggs, then coat in the flour mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
While the chicken cooks, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, vinegar, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl until smooth.
Once the chicken is done, brush or toss it with the glaze and return to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to set the glaze.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and scallions if desired.
Notes
Make sure the wings are fully dried before coating to ensure a crispy result.
Double the sauce if you prefer a more glazed chicken or want extra sauce for serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
