Spicy Korean Fried Chicken With Gochujang Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk milk and egg together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add chicken tenders to egg wash and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Combine flour, potato starch, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag. Drain and discard marinade from chicken tenders. Add chicken to the bag, seal it, and shake until each piece is completely dredged in mixture.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Add chicken pieces to the hot oil about 5 pieces at a time so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Continue with remaining chicken pieces.
• Increase oil heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until continuously boiling. Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken and fry again until cooked through and crispy about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the second batch of chicken pieces. Transfer chicken to a medium-sized serving bowl.
• Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang paste, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Cook and stir continuously until sugar has melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce over twice-fried chicken tenders and serve.

Steps:

• 1) Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and place them in a bowl and with 2 tablespoons of garlic and salt and pepper. Mix well and rest for 30 minutes.
• 2) Beat the egg and coat the chicken pieces with the egg.
• 3) Mix flour and potato starch 1:1 and lay the chicken pieces in the mixture to coat.
• 4) Heat the oil high and deep-fry the chicken till golden brown.
• 5) In another pan heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil and the Gochujang sauce ingredients in a bowl.
• 6) Sauté finely chopped onion in the pan till brown and then add the Gochujang sauce and heat until it bubbles.
• 7) When the sauce shimmers, put in the fried chicken pieces and toss with the sauce until evenly coated.

Steps:

• For the marinade and chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang, brown sugar, vinegar and gochugaru. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mixture to a zip-top bag holding the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Reserve the remaining mixture to make the gochujang glaze (refrigerate if the chicken is marinating overnight).
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• In a pie dish or shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a separate pie dish or shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and self-rising flour. Mix 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk-egg mixture into the flour mixture; lightly whisk to work the buttermilk into the dredge to create little crispy, craggily bits.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Dunk the chicken first in the buttermilk-egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary, gently drop the chicken into the oil. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. (With the carryover time, it should go up to 165 degrees F.)
• For the ginger mayo: Whisk the mayo, ginger, soy sauce and vinegar together.
• To serve: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the butter into the bowl of the reserved marinade until smooth.
• Spread each bun top with the ginger mayo. Top with some kimchi.
• Toss the chicken in the glaze and place on the bun bottoms. Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds. Close the sandwiches.
