    This Korean fried chicken recipe will teach you how to make amazing crispy fried chicken, with sweet and spicy sauce in your own kitchen.

    Korean Fried Chicken

    Crispy fried chicken coated in a garlicky, sweet and spicy sauce! If that sounds as delicious to you as it does to me, read on how to make this easy Korean Fried Chicken recipe at home.

    I am always craving one food or another. My husband makes fun of me because I crave recipes ALL the time. What can I say? I just love good food!

    Well, this week I’ve been craving Korean food. Yesterday I made Korean Pork Chops and my little guy surprised me by eating it at dinner. So I decided to make a batch of Korean Fried Chicken today.

    Lately I have been cooking a lot. With my husband working from home and my little man growing so much, it’s like I am cooking 3 meals a day, everyday.

    I am also batch cooking and freezing food to get ahead of summer, when we get busy with life and cooking is the last thing in my mind.

    How to Make Korean Fried Chicken

    Korean Fried Chicken

    There are 3 things that make this recipe for Korean fried chicken work. Gochujan sauce, corn starch and second fry.

    Gochujan

    Gochujan is a spicy and sweet Korean barbecue sauce that you must have in this dish to make it Korean. It’s absolutely delicious! It’s not always available at grocery stores, but you can order it here.

    Since gochujan is the ingredient that gives this recipe some heat, you can add more if you like it hot.

    Corn Starch

    Corn starch is gives the chicken a thinner, but crunchier coat. And it sticks to the chicken a lot better than plain flour.

    Once you coat the chicken in corn starch, leave it to rest for a couple minutes before frying to make sure it adheres to the chicken well.

    Second Fry

    Don’t skip this step because it makes the chicken so crispy! It also makes it ready to take on the sweet and spicy sauce!
