Description
A delicious and crispy air fryer chicken karaage rice bowl topped with a savory miso glaze, perfect for a tasty dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake (or dry white wine)
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, black pepper, and salt. Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat each piece in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil.
- Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops lightly with vegetable oil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the miso glaze by whisking together miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the chicken is done, drizzle the miso glaze over the crispy chicken and toss to coat.
- To serve, place a scoop of cooked rice in a bowl, top with the glazed chicken, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For extra crunch, consider adding panko breadcrumbs to the cornstarch mixture.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option, but adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they remain juicy.
