Recipe 🍳

- Place the sauce-coated squid legs in the air fryer basket, spreading them out evenly without overlapping.

- Place the finished grilled squid in a bowl and serve with mayonnaise for dipping, if desired.
- In a pan, melt sugar, soy sauce, mirin, salt, corn syrup, and butter to make a sweet and savory sauce.
- Thoroughly coat the cleaned squid legs with the sauce.
- Air fry at 160°C for 7-8 minutes, then at 190°C for 3 minutes until crispy.
Cooking tips 💡
- The final high-temperature (190°C) short cooking time evaporates moisture, resulting in the dark, chewy texture reminiscent of movie theater squid.
- For a perfect drinking snack, mix mayonnaise with chopped cheongyang chili peppers for a dipping sauce.
