Music: "Jindo Arirang" played by Chae Okseon (gayageum musical instrument)
Ingredients (for 3-4 servings):
3 pounds (about 1.5 kg) of chicken chunks, salt, ground black pepper, potato starch powder, flour,sweet rice flour, egg, baking soda, canola oil (or vegetable oil), garlic, ketchup, hot pepper paste,rice syrup, vinegar.
See my site for pictures and descriptions of ingredients: http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients
Directions:
1. Rinse chunks of chicken in cold water. Drain.
*tip: You could use chicken wings, too. About 24 wings will be 3 pounds.
2. Add 1 tbs ground black pepper and 1 ts kosher salt.
3. Add ½ cup potato starch powder, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup sweet rice flour, 1 ts baking soda, and 1 egg.
4. Mix well by hand and completely coat the chicken.
5. Put 6-7 cups of canola oil in a wok or frying pan and heat it up.
6. After it's heated for about 7-8 minutes, test if the oil is ready by dipping a sample chunk of chicken into the oil. If the oil bubbles, it's the right temperature to start frying.
Fry them using the double-frying method:
1. Fry the chicken chunks for 10 minutes over high heat.
2. Take them out of the oil and shake them off in a strainer. Let them sit for a few minutes.
3. Fry them again for another 10 minutes until all pieces look golden brown and are crunchy outside.
*tip: If your skillet is not large enough to fry all the chicken at once, divide it into batches like I do in the video.
While you are frying, you can make the sauce:
1. Put 1 tbs canola oil and 4 cloves of minced garlic into a heated pan,
2. Add 1/3 cup tomato ketchup, 1/3 cup rice syrup, ¼ cup hot pepper paste, 1 tbs apple vinegar and simmer the mixture for about about 7 minutes. Keep your heat low and be sure not to burn the sauce.
3. Turn off the heat and wait until the chicken is done.
Chicken is done? Then coat your chicken with the sauce:
1. Reheat the sauce.
2. Put the freshly fried chicken into the sauce and gently mix it up with a wooden spoon.
3. Sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds over top and serve hot or warm.

OMG I have to stop watching all of these food videos at night. I just

and can barely reach the cooker
thank you for the recipe! i found an online shop that sells gochujang
(really hard to find it here even in big supermarket in my country) and i
just bought one. i can’t wait to try this out! not gonna waste moooore
money in korean resto just to eat this fried chicken, ever again! hehe
thank you!!
I happened to have some frozen breaded chicken tenders in my freezers and
when you fry them up they get nice and crunchy, but they needed something
extra so I made your sauce and they came out so good I love the sauce so
good tasty and zingy , and I sprinkled them with some sesame seeds and had
them with a spinach salad with a ginger dressing, it was perfect quick
meal, next time I am going to make your chicken recipe that goes with this
sauce…thanks!!!
Thank you for this recipe Maangchi!! Ever since leaving home I’ve missed
my moms Korean cooking so much, but my wife found your recipes/videos and
I’ve been able to eat so many comfort foods.
I had never had Korean fried chicken before making this recipe but
everything about this screams Korea!! The mixture of starches makes such
an incredible *crunch*, and the sauce is everything I love about Korean
cooking. Sweet, spicy, and it looks so nice on the chicken!!
Anyways, thank you again for helping me not miss out on the food I love!
Can u mail me some of that? I’ll send u my address.
I could smell the taste right from my computer. Oh.. no it lunch time. I
don’t know the hell I am smelling.
I don’t have sweet rice flour at my hometown what can i substitute it w ?
Hi Maangchi! instead of potato starch, can i just use corn starch?
sad face this looks really good I love this sorta stuff
Is gochujang the same as hot pepper paste?
That looks so sexy.
Very nice. I would combine the flours/ingredients well before applying them
to the meat. That is just my preference. Love it!
If I dont want it spicy cause my family dont eat spicy…. Is it really
spicy or can I lessen the spicyness instead? Thank you ^^ Loved you videos
i can’t find the sweet rice flour , can i use rice flour ?
omg it makes me so hungry.
I usually eat garlic korean fried chicken for lunch after school. but now
I’m moving to a place with less asian restaurants. I will try to make it !
