Description

A crispy and succulent Korean Fried Chicken dish coated in a flavorful sauce, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup potato starch or cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • ½ cup gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, potato starch (or cornstarch), baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the chicken: Toss the chicken wings into the dry mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
  3. Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the wings: Carefully add the chicken in batches and fry for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are crispy. Remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil, heating it over medium until it bubbles.
  6. Toss in the sauce: Once the wings are fried and drained, toss them in the bubbling sauce to ensure each piece is richly coated.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double frying the wings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
