Welcome to the fourth season of the podcast COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK. We've changed things up a bit. We've still got a one-minute cooking tip. And we'll still let you know what's making us happy in food. Otherwise, we're focusing each podcast episode on an interview, a recipe, or a taste-test.

This week, come into our kitchen as we make chicken "char siu" in an air fryer. Admittedly, we're a bit crazy: turning a classic Chinese barbecued pork into one for boneless skinless chicken thighs--and then getting them crunchy in an air fryer.

We love that classic flavor, which we can only get with a classic Chinese ingredient: fermented red bean curd. You'll probably need to find it at an Asian grocery store, although we've found it at Walmart! Or you can order it here.

Speaking of ordering, our brand-new cookbook is THE LOOK & COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE: 125 recipes with 704 step-by-step photos. Click the title to get your copy!
