Ingredients
First marinade
- 2 whole chickens, cut into 10 pieces each
- knob ginger, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Korean fried chicken sauce
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 6 tbsp Gochujang
- 6 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp hot honey
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or apple cider)
- 0.5 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp water
Dredge and frying
- marinated chicken from the first step
- 3L peanut oil
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 cups potato starch
- 1.5 cups flour
- spring onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Method
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, grated ginger, grated garlic, salt and black pepper. Mix well, cover with cling wrap and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
2. To make the Korean fried chicken sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add peanut oil and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add gochujang, tomato ketchup, hot honey, rice wine vinegar, salt, soy sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
3. In a deep fryer or heavy bottom pot, heat peanut oil to 175°C/347°F.
4. Dredge marinated chicken by adding the eggs and flour to the bowl of marinated chicken and mix well.
5. Place the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes until lightly brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
6. Heat peanut oil to 190°C/375°F. Fry chicken again for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
7. In a large mixing bowl, add double-fried chicken and Korean fried chicken sauce. Toss well.
8. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions. Serve with rice, cucumber salad and kimchi on the side.

Important thing to remember. If someone in your family doesn't like spicy, you can always get a new family member 👍

This recipe’s very on point. As a Korean who worked at a fried chicken store I can tell this is very similar to how they made the sauce. For anyone wanting more ‘authentic’ experience with the sauce, add a lot more garlic, to a point where you’d think ‘wtf, this can’t be right’. And a dash of strawberry jam. + supplementing honey with starch syrup.

What's not to like about Andy! As endearing as you are supremely knowledgeable - thank you Andy and crew, you are a joy to watch and learn from, no matter where you are or what you're cooking 🎉 Peace

My favourite cooking videos on YouTube, by far. I am amazed how well you can cook asian food, and how faithful your recipe always are!
-
I love so much that there is zero bs with your videos. I love that you make a mess, that you adapt as you go along, that you say "ginger" instead of "garlic", but I think most importantly I LOVE that you haven't followed the trend of wearing black gloves while cooking!!! You're real and it is so damn refreshing!! Thank you so much!! Oh and I'm definitely gonnna try this one :) :)

I make korean fried chicken often as my wife is South Korean. I learned that every recipe in Korea is a variation but the taste is always similar . I guess everyone makes it a little different, you can put strawberry jam in the sauce, strange as it sounds and maple syrup along with the regular ingredients, actual chicken is simple with a dusting of curry powder and ginger powder before making what style of batter. I'm amazed that it hasn't yet become really popular in the UK perhaps its too spicy for most Brits . Its always best to double fry for that extra crunch. Super yummy

My brother recently moved close to Koreatown in LA, and we have been eating a ton of absolutely delicious korean food (including KFC). This looks stunning Andy, watching this has me craving some right now

Andy, Chef, Legend! That looked delicious, I've never had Korean Fried Chicken but I think it could become my favourite. Thanks for educating, entertaining and sharing. Thanks to the team as well! Peace ❤

I don't often leave comments on recipe videos. I liked the fact this chicken recipe was all done in one boul, rather than dredging in egg and flour etc. I cooked it this evening, it was an absolute banger. So much flavour in the chicken. I adjusted the sauce, and used skin on Thighs. We both loved it. One of the best and easiest fried chicken recipes (compared to SFC) I have cooked.

I made this tonight! It was absolutely delicious!!! Thanks Chef!

Hi Andy! Long time watcher here!♡ GREAT recipe, v. authentic but chilly kimchi with chilly chicken is a combo we rarely do,it's not as popular as sweet, tangy, crunchyyyy daikon cube pickles sold at every Korean chicken shops in Korea and given out in a small tub every time people buy Korean Fried chicken in Korea. I share these info as ethnic Korea.Maangchi has very accurate chicken mu (치킨무) recipe. It really compliments the spicy chicken. ❤ and acts as a palate cleanser. Thank u for your recipes!♡♡♡

Hey Andy, love your videos especially the ones with all the cooking processes like in this one with the jointing of the chicken. It would be super helpful if you had a top shot camera for some of the knife technique sections of your videos if at all possible would love to see that in your videos. Keep doing great things, Cheers!

Got the book, love it! Banana bread is ace. I’ve been looking for a less sweet version for awhile now. In this video you mentioned keeping the carcass for stock, maybe another video idea? Please chef, show us your take on chicken stock!❤
-
Yo Andy! Love your content and this is one of my favorite dishes. Thank you for your take on this recipe. I will definitely try this one out! <3
-
That looked absolutely delicious! Very well done breakdown of the chicken. If I might ask, could you make stuffed grape leaves, I’d like to see what flavor you’d incorporate in such a beautiful food.
-
Andy NEVER disappoints!!! It was spectacularly crispy and moist inside! I didn’t use the sause but a spice mix of salt, onion and garlic,q.b.! Delicious!!!! Thanks Andy❤
-
Nice, Andy! I live in a very Korean community in NYC, and there is a great Korean fried chicken spot on my corner. Yours looks just as great! Excellent work!
-
