KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN SAUCE



Korean Fried Chicken Sauce image

This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.

SPICY KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN WITH GOCHUJANG SAUCE

It took about two decades for this style of Korean fried chicken to make its way into the American foodie scene. The chicken is deep fried twice to make the exterior extra crispy and to lock moisture in. The gochujang sauce is a hot, honey, spicy mix...and well, it's just fabulous. You'll have the family completely raving!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Whisk milk and egg together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add chicken tenders to egg wash and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Combine flour, potato starch, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag. Drain and discard marinade from chicken tenders. Add chicken to the bag, seal it, and shake until each piece is completely dredged in mixture.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Add chicken pieces to the hot oil about 5 pieces at a time so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Continue with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Increase oil heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until continuously boiling. Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken and fry again until cooked through and crispy about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the second batch of chicken pieces. Transfer chicken to a medium-sized serving bowl.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang paste, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Cook and stir continuously until sugar has melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce over twice-fried chicken tenders and serve.

KOREAN CHICKEN IN HOT CHILI SAUCE



Korean Chicken in Hot Chili Sauce image

Marinated chicken cooked with gochu jang (korean red pepper paste) available at asian markets. I found this recipe on the internet @ myEthnicWorld.com and we love it. I make it regularly.

Provided by Vicarjane in Wester

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h55m

Yield 3-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs skinless chicken pieces, loose skin and fat discarded
5 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1 scallion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
5 tablespoons korean red pepper paste (less for a milder dish)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces.
  • Divide the wings.
  • Mix the chicken with the sugar and marinate for an hour.
  • (I used boneless breast and a Zip-Lock bag works well)
  • Mix together the other seasonings (all but the water) and marinate for another hour or more.
  • Pour the water into a pan and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and the marinade and simmer, covered, for 1/2 hour over low heat, stirring occasionally. This will be enough to cook the chicken and evaporate most of the liquid.
  • Serve warm with rice, salads, and kimchi.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best for this recipe.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the chicken. This will help prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the chicken hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Korean Chicken in Hot Chili Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, spicy, and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
