Korean fried chicken
Ingredients:
For crispy fried chicken
• Chicken | चिकन 1/2 kg (thighs)
• Salt | नमक to taste
• Garlic | लेहसुन 1 tsp (chopped)
• Ginger | अदरक 1 tsp (chopped)
• Black pepper | काली मिर्च a pinch
• Corn flour | कॉर्न फ्लोर 1/2 – 3/4 cup
• Oil for frying
For tossing in sauce
• Gochujang | गोचुजांग 1 tbsp (or the replacement)
• Soy sauce | सोया सॉस 1 tbsp
• Honey | शहद 2 tbsp
• Mirin | मिरिन 2 tbsp
• Sesame oil | तिल का तेल 2 tsp
• Garlic | लेहसुन 1 tsp (chopped)
• Ginger | अदरक 1 tsp (chopped)
• White sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Spring onions (for garnish)
Method:
• For making the crispy fried chicken, here I’ve used chicken thigh you can use any boneless part of the chicken, and cut into bite size.
• Further take a mixing bowl, add the bite size chicken, ginger, garlic, salt & black pepper, and marinate the chicken well, mix it well so that every piece of the chicken gets marinated evenly.
• Now coat the marinated chicken pieces by adding cornflour, make sure to coat it evenly and further shake to dust off the excess cornflour.
• Set oil in a wok and heat it well, to make the chicken super crispy we need to fry the chicken two times, do the first fry by deep frying the coated chicken in hot oil on medium heat until the chicken is almost cooked and light golden brown in colour, this will take about 3-4 minutes, further remove it over a sieve and rest it for few minutes. At this stage you can keep the chicken half done and refry it later when you’re about to make the crispy korean fried chicken
• After the first fry, heat the oil nicely, the temperature should be around 190, now refry the chicken on high heat, until the chicken turns crisp & golden brown in colour. Your crispy fried chicken is ready.
• To make the sauce, take a wok, add the gochujang and the remaining sauce, mix well and now switch on the flame & bring the sauce to a boil, once the sauce comes to a simmer, either keep the flame to the lowest setting or switch it off, now add the crispy fried chicken and toss it well to coat the sauce evenly.
• You do not have to cook at this stage, or else the chicken might become soggy.
• Your crispy korean fried chicken is ready, garnish with some sesame seeds and some freshly chopped spring onion greens, serve it immediately to enjoy the crunch.
