Korean Fried Chicken (Bon Chon Style)

This was my first attempt to try this famous Korean food. 
I really love its sweet-spicy flavour plus the crispiness in every crunch.

Here’s my own version.



Ingredients:

1 kl. Chicken wings
1/2 cup all purpose flour
½ cup corn, rice or potato starch
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

3 tbsp. chilli pepper paste
1 tbsp. chilli flakes
1/2 cup corn syrup or honey
2 tbsp. sugar
5 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Tomato ketchup
1 tbsp. garlic powder or 4 cloves minced garlic

Olive or canola oil
Sesame Seeds

Instructions:

Wash chicken in cold water and drain to dry.
Marinate chicken with salt and pepper then dredge with the mixture of flour and starch.
Heat oil in a frying pot or fryer.
Fry chicken parts in medium heat for exactly for 10 minutes.
Drain then cool for 2 minutes. 
Then re-fry chicken parts for another 10 minutes. (This is the secret for its crispiness)

In a pan, mix garlic powder/minced garlic, chilli pepper paste, chilli flakes, corn syrup/honey, sugar, apple cider vinegar and tomato ketchup.  Let it simmer in low heat for 5 minutes.  Brush the mixture to the fried chicken.  You can also use a zip lock or non-spill container to coat the chicken with the sweet and chilli mixture.

Arrange chicken in a plate then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Enjoy!
