Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Fried Chicken
- Begin by rinsing the chicken under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and baking powder.
- Gradually add cold water while mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, coating thoroughly and allowing excess to drip off.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
- Fry the chicken in batches for about 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before the second fry for extra crispiness.
- Return the chicken to the hot oil and fry for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger over medium heat.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve hot with favorite dipping sauces.
