Spicy Korean Fried Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings or drumsticks
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Oil for frying
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the chicken wings or drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  6. Carefully place a few pieces of chicken in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature (165°F or 74°C).
  7. Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. In a saucepan, combine the remaining gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and a splash of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until combined.
  9. In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken with the sauce until evenly coated.
  10. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.
