Korean fried chicken
Korean fried chicken typically consists of bite-sized chicken pieces that are double-fried to achieve an extra crispy and crunchy texture. It uses a delicious is sauce or seasoning that coats the chicken, like the popular options of spicy gochujang sauce or soy garlic. It's often served with pickled radishes and enjoyed as a tasty snack or as a main course.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings or boneless chicken pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- green onions sliced for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
- Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, which usually takes around 10-12 minutes for wings, or slightly longer for boneless chicken pieces.
- Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- For the Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sauce over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
- Add the fried chicken to the skillet and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for extra flavor and garnish.
