Ingredients

To create this flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

2 pounds chicken wings, cleaned
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup buttermilk
Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Sauce

In addition to the fried chicken, prepare the sauce with these ingredients:

1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these steps to achieve the perfect crispy Korean Fried Chicken:

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In another bowl, pour in the buttermilk and add the cleaned chicken wings. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Take each wing from the buttermilk, allow excess to drip off, and then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
For the sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until well combined and heated through.
Toss the fried wings in the sauce until evenly coated.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds, and enjoy your homemade crispy Korean Fried Chicken!
