Best 5 Korean Sticky Chicken Recipes
**Korean Sticky Chicken: A Sweet and Savory Delight**
Korean Sticky Chicken, also known as Dakgangjeong, is a popular and beloved dish in Korean cuisine. It features tender chicken pieces coated in a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy sauce that gives it a delightful sticky texture. This dish is commonly served as an appetizer or main course and is perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
This recipe article provides two variations of Korean Sticky Chicken: the traditional version and a healthier air fryer version. Both recipes are easy to follow and offer step-by-step instructions to guide you through the cooking process.
The traditional Korean Sticky Chicken recipe involves deep-frying the chicken pieces until crispy, then coating them in a flavorful sauce made with gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar. The resulting chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
For those looking for a healthier alternative, the air fryer Korean Sticky Chicken recipe offers a guilt-free indulgence. The chicken is coated in the same flavorful sauce but is cooked in an air fryer instead of being deep-fried, resulting in a crispy and flavorful dish with reduced fat and calories.
In addition to the two main recipes, this article also includes a recipe for a homemade gochujang sauce, an essential ingredient in Korean cuisine. Making your own gochujang sauce allows you to control the level of spiciness and customize it to your taste preferences.
Whether you're a fan of traditional Korean cuisine or looking for a healthier alternative, this article has everything you need to make delicious and authentic Korean Sticky Chicken at home.

Steps:
- Tip all of the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl with a good grinding of pepper and whisk them together. Score the drumsticks with a sharp knife, if you like, and toss them in the marinade. Cover and chill for as long as you can - overnight is good but 24 hrs is even better.
- Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Lay the drumsticks on a shallow roasting tray and spoon over any excess marinade from the bowl. Roast the chicken for 40 mins, then baste with the sticky juices in the tin. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and continue to cook the chicken for 20 mins more, or until caramelised (it's fine for it to char a little). Use tongs to lift the chicken onto a platter and scatter over some sliced red chilli and spring onions, if you like. Serve with coleslaw and plenty of napkins. Cold beers are optional.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your dish. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through, or it will become tough and dry. A good way to check if the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and sticky. The sauce is what makes this dish so delicious, so it's important to make sure it's thick and sticky. You can thicken the sauce by adding cornstarch or flour. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with water or chicken broth.
- Serve the chicken over rice. This is the traditional way to serve Korean sticky chicken. You can also serve it with noodles or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Korean sticky chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to serve at parties or gatherings. With its sweet and sticky sauce, tender chicken, and crunchy vegetables, Korean sticky chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
