Directions
1
Combine the chicken, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a large bowl and mix until the chicken is fully coated.
2
Add the cornstarch, flour, and baking powder to the chicken mixture and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
3
Cook the chicken in an air fryer preheated to 400°F for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes until crispy.
4
Alternatively, bake the chicken in an oven at 425°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5
In a pan over medium heat, combine the gochujang, brown sugar, ketchup, honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
6
Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes until thick, then turn off the heat and whisk in the butter.
7
Add the crispy chicken to a bowl and pour in about ½ cup of the sauce.

Toss the chicken until fully coated, adding more sauce if needed.

Serve over rice and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
