Yangnyeom chicken
Yangnyeom chicken is a delicious Korean dish that consists of crispy fried chicken coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The chicken is typically double-fried to achieve that perfect crunchy texture, and then it's tossed in a sticky sauce made with a combination of ingredients like gochujang (Korean red chili paste), soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and honey.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings or boneless chicken pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the sauce:
- 4 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings or pieces in the flour mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to around 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the chicken is cooked through before removing from the oil. You may need to fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
- Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried chicken and the sauce. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
