Preparation

Chef’s notes

Salt Depends on The Amount of Chicken:
3/4 teaspoon table salt for 1 pound of chicken breasts, 1 teaspoon table salt for 1.5 pounds.
Marinating:
Let the chicken sit with the spices for up to 24 hours in the fridge, but add cornstarch just before air frying.
Paprika:
Follow the amounts as written for a perfect blend. Experiment with other paprika ratios as desired.
Cheat Code for the Seasoning:
Use McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning blend as an alternative spice mix.
Amazing Gochujang Dipping Sauce:
Mix mayo, gochujang sauce, grated garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
