Ingredients

  • 1 kg Chicken Drumsticks Or wings
  • 50 ml Soy Sauce
  • 50 ml Rice Vinegar
  • 30 ml Sesame Oil
  • 2 tsp Ginger Grated
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Gochujang Korean red pepper paste
  • 50 g Plain Flour
  • 50 g Cornflour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Oil For deep frying
  • Sesame seeds Optional, for garnish
  • Spring Onions Optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and gochujang. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the chicken wings or drumsticks to the marinade and toss until they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F).
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat the frying process until all the chicken is cooked.
  • Garnish the Korean Fried Chicken with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions (if desired).
  • Serve the Korean Fried Chicken hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice and pickled vegetables as a main dish.
