Crispy and flavorful Korean Fried Chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze that transforms any gathering into a feast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Pickled radishes for serving
  • Beer for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Mix: In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. This blend will create the perfect crispy coating for your wings.
  2. Soak in Buttermilk: Dip the chicken wings in buttermilk, ensuring they are well-coated. This step not only adds flavor but also moisture, helping to keep the chicken juicy.
  3. Dredge in Flour Mixture: Once dipped, dredge the wings in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. This coating is key to achieving that coveted crunch.
  4. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). The oil needs to be hot to ensure the wings fry properly without becoming greasy.
  5. Fry Until Golden: Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; the bubbling and sizzling will let you know they’re working their magic.
  6. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Heat gently until combined and fragrant, creating a deliciously sticky glaze.
  7. Coat in Sauce: Toss the fried chicken in the glaze until well-coated. Feel free to adjust the quantity based on your taste preference—more glaze means more flavor!
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve with pickled radishes on the side and crack open a cold beer to complement the meal. Enjoy the crispy, spicy goodness!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes or until crispy again.
