Korean Fried Chicken
These flavors sound so good! I love Asian flavors, especially when they’re paired with chicken.
INGREDIENTS
For the chicken- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- green onions for garnish optional
For the sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons gochujang sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the eggs in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the flour and cornstarch together and place in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then roll into the flour mixture. Repeat with all of the chicken.
- Fry 7-8 pieces of chicken at a time for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat the process with all of the chicken.
