Sticky, spicy-sweet Korean chicken thighs glazed in gochujang and honey, crisped up in the air fryer. Cheap thighs turned into a real flavour bomb over rice.

The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook the rice in boiling water until tender, then drain and keep warm.
  2. 2
    Mix the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, grated garlic and ginger into a marinade and toss with the chicken thighs.
  3. 3
    Air fry the chicken at 190C for 18-20 minutes, turning once, until sticky and cooked right through with no pink remaining and the juices run clear.
  4. 4
    Brush any leftover marinade over the chicken in the last few minutes so it glazes.
  5. 5
    Slice and serve over the rice, scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.
