This Air Fryer Korean Fried Chicken is so easy to make and finger licking good! Also known as Dakgangjeong or Soy Garlic Fried Chicken, this Korean fried chicken made in the air fryer is sweet, sticky, and savoury. You only need a handful of pantry staples and you’ll have this air fryer Korean chicken wings ready in no time.
Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
Mix together the potato starch, garlic powder, and onion powder before pouring the mixture onto the chicken wings. Mix until the wings are coated.
Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer.
Air fry at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping at the halfway point.
3 minutes before the chicken wings are finished, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, rice wine vinegar, black pepper, and water to a pan over medium-heat. Allow it to bubble, stirring throughout. The sauce will not be super thick but still be runny.
When the wings are done, remove the sauce from the heat and toss the wings in the sauce until coated.
Notes
This makes 2 servings if you're eating them as a main or 3 to 4 servings as an app.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe. The sauce is just enough for 1½lbs of wings so be sure to scale up the sauce as well.
