What Is Korean Fried Chicken?
Korean Fried Chicken is double-fried for extra crispiness, then coated in a rich, sweet, spicy and savoury Korean-style sauce. Double frying helps the chicken stay crunchy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside.
Taste, Texture and What to Expect
Expect a bold combination of sweet, spicy and savoury flavours from the sauce, layered over an extra-crispy fried coating. It has more heat and richness than a standard fried chicken dish, making it a good choice for diners who enjoy bolder flavours.
Typical Ingredients
- Chicken, double-fried
- Korean-style sauce (often gochujang-based)
