Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken

---

This Korean fried chicken recipe is exceptionally crispy—doubled fried— and doused with super yummy soy garlic sauce sauce. I found out about Korean fried chicken (aka KFC) through k-dramas (crash landing on you fans out there?) and it looked so delicious, I had to try! In Korean, this dish is called dakgangjeong.

I have tried many kinds of fried chicken ranging from Bonchon chicken to delicious fried chicken places in K-Town Los Angeles. This recipe is a must try if you are a fried chicken lover like me.

Ingredients you need for your soy garlic korean fried chicken:

• white wine

Flour Mixture

• flour
• cornstarch
• baking powder
• garlic seasoning (salt, garlic powder, onion powder)

Soy Garlic Sauce

• unsalted butter
• soy sauce
• garlic
• honey
• water

Steps to make the soy garlic korean fried chicken:

• Step 1. Mix wings, 1 tablespoon of salt, pinch of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of white wine. Marinate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
• Step 2. After marinating, add 1 cup milk to the wings and marinate for an additional 30 minutes.
• Step 3. In a separate bowl, make flour mixture. Mix 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoons of garlic seasoning. Add flour mixture to the wings and mix together until the batter is a thick consistency.
• Step 5. Dip the battered chicken in corn starch and coat evenly. Let the wings rest for 10 minutes.
• Step 6. Fry the wings in 350F oil for 10 minutes.
• Step 7. Take wings out (should be light blonde color) and rest on a wire rack or on paper towels.
• Step 8. Turn up the oil to ~400F. Put the wings back in the pot for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Double frying makes the wings extra crispy!!
• Step 9. To make the soy garlic sauce, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a low-medium saucepan. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoons honey. Bring to a simmer (until you see small bubbles) and stir. Make sure the sauce is not burnt (but caramelized) for 5-8 minutes.
• Step 10. Coat wings in sauce and enjoy!!
