## About

Thinly sliced chicken breast pieces, coated to the max in spices plus a bit of brown sugar and cornstarch, air fried to golden, juicy perfection.

## Instructions

### Spice Mix

1

Combine 1 teaspoon paprika , 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika , 0.50 teaspoon garlic powder , 0.50 teaspoon onion powder , 0.75 teaspoon salt , 1.50 teaspoons brown sugar , and 1 teaspoon cornstarch . Mix well.

Note For 1.5 lbs chicken, increase all spices by 1.5x. If using coarse kosher salt, use 1 teaspoon per pound of chicken.

### Prep Chicken

2

Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into thin, flat pieces, not bite-sized, but thin chicken breast slices. Pat dry if they have a lot of moisture on them.

### Coat

3

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken pieces in a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons avocado oil and toss thoroughly to coat.

Note You can let it rest up to 24 hours in the fridge, but for best results add the cornstarch just before air frying.

### Air Fry

4

Preheat the air fryer . Place chicken on the basket in an even layer, leaving space for air to circulate. Air fry at 415 degrees for 10 minutes . For larger pieces, go closer to 13 minutes. Target internal temperature of 165 degrees.

5

Let rest for a moment before slicing.

Note Gochujang Dipping Sauce: mix 1/2 cup mayo with 2 tablespoons gochujang sauce (table sauce, not paste), 1 clove grated garlic, a shot of soy sauce, and a dash of rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
