Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken:

    Pat dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

  1. Mix coating

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and cold water to form a light batter.

  1. Heat oil:

    Preheat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

  1. Fry chicken (1st fry):

    Dip chicken into batter and fry for 6–7 minutes or until light golden. Remove and rest for 5–10 minutes.

  1. Fry chicken (2nd fry):

    Increase oil heat slightly and fry again for 3–4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain excess oil.

  1. Make the sauce:

    In a saucepan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Simmer on low for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

  1. Coat the chicken:

    Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until evenly coated and glossy.

  1. Garnish:

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

  1. Serve hot ♨ and enjoy with rice or cold beer 🍺!

Avoid covering the chicken right after frying, moisture will soften the crust.

What can I serve it with?

Best with steamed rice, pickled radish, or ice-cold beer 🍺 for the authentic Korean experience.
