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!
