The Magic of the Fake Fry Technique
The absolute star of this recipe is the 'Fake Fry' technique. We swap the heavy deep fryer for a brilliant crust of cornstarch and baking powder. By lightly misting the bites with cooking spray and baking them at high heat (BBQ, oven, or airfryer), the baking powder reacts. The result? An airy, explosive crunch that's indistinguishable from actual deep-frying. Less fat, no oil splatters, but that perfect crisp.

How will you prepare it?
Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken pieces into bite-sized chunks. Mix them in a bowl with the egg and a small dash of oil until well coated.
Coating
Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients together.
Toss the chicken chunks through the dry mixture until every bite is fully coated.
Grilling
Set up the BBQ for indirect heat (200°C - 220°C).
Place the coated chicken on the grate and spray lightly with cooking oil spray.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and super crispy.
Sauce & Serve
Whisk the Gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger into a smooth glaze.
Dip the hot, crispy bites in the sauce or gently toss them. Top with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions. Dig in!
