Step 1
Start by heating up your air fryer to 400°F. In a shallow dish, mix together the tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture, making sure they're well coated. Set up a baking sheet with a cooling rack and place the coated chicken on it for a few minutes so any extra coating can fall off. Give the chicken a light spray of cooking oil before arranging the pieces in the air fryer basket. Cook them for about 10 minutes, giving the basket a good shake halfway through to help everything cook evenly. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the tomato sauce, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Once the chicken is done, drizzle this sauce over the pieces and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with steamed rice or a fresh green salad to balance the bold flavors. A side of pickled vegetables or kimchi also complements the dish nicely, adding a tangy contrast.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness, avoiding the microwave which can make the coating soggy.
