Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich made in the Air Fryer

This adapted Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is made using Aldi's Famous Red Bag Chicken in the Air Fryer. Once the chicken is cooked, it's tossed in a sweet and spicy gochujang glaze. It's then nestled into a spicy mayo slathered toasted brioche bun. The whole thing is ready in 20 minutes and it's a delicious way to use the red bag chicken at home!
