Ingredients

- salt — 2 tsp12 g
- plain flour65 g
- eggs2 ea
- gochujang35 g
- panko breadcrumbs100 g
- avocado oil spray1 ea
- butter — melted55 g

Method
- Cut each chicken breast into thinner pieces: cut the tenderloin off the back, then slice the breast in half horizontally (or into thirds if it's very thick). Season with 1 tsp salt and some pepper.
- Prep three bowls for breading: 1) the flour, 2) the eggs whisked with 1/2 tbsp gochujang, 3) the panko. Season the flour and panko bowls with an extra 1/2 tsp salt each.
- Dip the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip into the egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Press into the panko on both sides until coated.
- Spray each piece with avocado oil to coat the top. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes, then at 400°F (200°C) for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
