How do you make korean fried chicken?

For this recipe, we will do away with the double frying. Instead, we will be using one-inch chunks that will crisp up with just one frying.

For the sauce, prepare the following ingredients:

• ketchup
• chili sauce
• honey
• brown sugar
• soy sauce
• water
• garlic
• red pepper flakes
• cornstarch
• sesame oil

Here is how we cook this:

Make the sauce: Combine all the ingredients, stir well and then, combine.

Prepare the breading: In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, prepare beaten eggs.

Fry the meat: In a deep frying pan, put enough oil to cover about 2 inches of the pan. Work in batches by first coating the meat with the eggs, then, pressing the meat into the flour mixture. Cook the meat until golden brown.

Serve: Toss in the sauce and make sure to coat each piece. Garnish and then, serve while hot.

Does korean fried chicken have bones?

Yes, but you can make a boneless version as in this recipe, it does not matter. And sometimes, the frying is so efficient that even the bones become crunchy enough to eat.

In fact, they use the wings and drumsticks as the most common parts to cook this dish with. I guess it is because this dish makes for perfect finger food.

Should i boil my chicken before frying?

You do not need to. Boiling before frying may drain the flavors out of the meat.

Side dishes to serve with it:

Butter Pickles, Grilled Potatoes, or Creamy Tomato Salad would go nicely with it. These side dishes are great because it will help wash out the oily taste left from the frying. Also, it is best to serve it over white or brown rice.

Refrigerate: This can keep for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, just let it cool completely before storing.
