Ingredients
1 Esther Choi Gochujang Teriyaki Chicken (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch
Chopped green onions or cilantro for freshness
Crushed red pepper flakes or extra gochujang sauce for added heat
A drizzle of sesame oil or soy sauce for extra umami
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the chicken crispy and flavorful.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Separate the chicken from the rice and vegetables to ensure even cooking. Place the chicken directly in the air fryer basket.
Cover the rice and vegetables with foil to prevent them from overcooking or drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry the Gochujang Teriyaki Chicken & Sides
Chicken Only: Cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
Rice & Vegetables: After 6 minutes of cooking, place the sides in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until fully heated.
Glaze the Chicken: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, toss the chicken in the gochujang teriyaki sauce for a glossy, flavorful finish.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the chicken and sides from the air fryer and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, or extra gochujang sauce for enhanced flavor.
How to Serve This Gochujang Teriyaki Chicken
Classic Korean Style: Serve with steamed jasmine rice and extra stir-fried veggies.
Extra Crunch: Top with crispy garlic chips or crushed peanuts.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with sriracha or additional gochujang for more heat.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even crisping.
Cover the rice and vegetables with foil to keep them tender.
For a crispier glaze, toss the chicken in sauce and air fry for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F.
Want extra depth of flavor? Sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, or smoked paprika before air frying.
