1 tbsp avocado oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Tenders:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, crush the cornflakes to create a coating for the chicken tenders. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs. Add some salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the coated chicken tender in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere the flakes to the chicken.
Air Fry the Chicken Tenders:
- Place the coated chicken tenders in the bottom of the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each.
- Spray with cooking oil - I like to use this avocado oil spray.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Korean Style Sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, make the Korean-style sauce.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add avocado oil.
- Add minced garlic and chopped green onion, sautéing until fragrant.
- Stir in gochujang, honey, ketchup, sesame oil, and mirin. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add toasted sesame seeds.
Coat the Chicken Tenders:
- Once the chicken tenders are cooked, transfer them to the pan.
- Gently toss the chicken tenders in the sauce until they are well coated.
Serve:
- Serve the Korean Fried Chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
