1. Preparing the Chicken:
The secret to great Korean fried chicken starts with the chicken itself. Opt for fresh cuts like drumsticks or wings, which retain flavour and fry evenly. Marinate the pieces in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures the chicken absorbs rich, savoury flavours, forming the foundation of the dish.
2. Creating the Crispy Coating
The hallmark of Korean fried chicken is its signature crunch, achieved through a double-frying technique. Begin by coating the marinated chicken in a light batter made from plain flour, cornflour, and a touch of baking powder for extra crispiness. Fry the chicken on medium heat until it’s cooked through, then increase the heat and fry it again to achieve that golden, crunchy texture.
3. Perfecting the Sauce
No Korean fried chicken is complete without its iconic sauce. A classic version combines gochujang (Korean chilli paste), honey, soy sauce, and garlic for a sweet, spicy glaze. If you prefer a milder option, swap out the gochujang for tomato sauce and add a dash of rice vinegar for a tangy kick. Warm the sauce gently in a pan, then toss the freshly fried chicken to coat it evenly in the glossy, flavourful mixture.
4. Adding the Finishing Touches
To truly elevate your Korean fried chicken, sprinkle it with sesame seeds and freshly chopped spring onions. Pair it with pickled radish and a cold beer for an authentic Korean-inspired meal. The combination of the crispy chicken, sweet and tangy sauce, and refreshing sides will transport you straight to the streets of Seoul.
By following these tips, you can bring the magic of Buza Chicken into your own home, creating a dish that’s sure to impress family and friends.
Recipe Overview
To achieve authentic yangnyeom chicken, the key is in the double-frying technique. The first fry cooks the meat, while the second fry gives it a crispy outer layer, locking in moisture.
The sauce is crucial for enhancing the dish. From sweet-and-spicy gochujang sauces to the savoury soy-garlic glaze, there’s a flavour for everyone. This chicken is often enjoyed with a refreshing drink, making it a great choice for social gatherings.
