Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings or drumsticks
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
  2. Coat chicken pieces in the flour mixture, then dip in water, and coat again in flour.
  3. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a saucepan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Toss fried chicken in the sauce until fully coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Double-fry for extra crispiness: fry once, let rest, then fry again.
  • Adjust gochujang for more or less heat.
  • Use a wire rack to keep chicken crispy before saucing.
