For extra crispy chicken, ensure the pieces are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary. Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Serve immediately for the best texture. This Korean fried chicken pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a side of kimchi.
