Main Ingredients- 500g boneless chicken thigh, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup roasted soybean powder (kinako)
- 1 cup Injeolmi rice cakes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Honey, for drizzling
Chicken Marinade Ingredients- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2/3 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2/3 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, 2.5 Tbsp of soy sauce, 2/3 Tbsp of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 to 20 minutes. Allowing it to marinate ensures the flavors penetrate nicely.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup of glutinous rice flour to the marinated chicken. Coat the pieces evenly, then gently shake off any excess flour. This step is crucial for achieving a wonderfully crispy texture after cooking.
Step 3
Arrange the flour-coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer without overlapping. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip the chicken pieces and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. This ensures the chicken is cooked through with a perfectly crispy exterior.
Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it back to a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of roasted soybean powder and toss gently until all pieces are coated. The nutty aroma and flavor of the soybean powder will elevate the chicken’s taste significantly.
Step 5
Arrange the Injeolmi chicken and the bite-sized Injeolmi rice cakes on a serving plate. Finish by drizzling a little honey over everything. This sweet and savory Injeolmi Chicken is best enjoyed immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious creation!
