步驟

1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken:

In a bowl, mix cubed chicken with black pepper, soy sauce, and egg. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to infuse flavour.

Coat the marinated chicken pieces with cornstarch and tempura bits (or breadcrumbs).

Lay on baking tray w/baking paper, well spaced and bake @ 200°C fan forced until golden brown and crispy - around 18 to 20 minutes. Bonus points for turning at halftime.

3️⃣ Make the Sauce

In a small pan, combine soy sauce, water, ketchup, gochujang, rice vinegar, honey, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir until thickened (about 5 minutes).

4️⃣ Toss and Serve

Toss the crispy chicken in the warm sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately with steamed rice and enjoy!
