This irresistible blend of sweet wildflower honey, spicy Korean Gochujang, and umami goodness will take your crispy fried chicken to a whole new level of flavour perfection. Here's how to make it happen!

Ingredients

For the Fried Chicken:

  • 1 lb (450g) chicken wings or drumsticks
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup corn-starch
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Place your chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight works best!) to tenderize the chicken.
  2. Combine the flour, corn-starch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.

Step 2: Fry the Chicken

  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
  3. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  4. Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken

  1. Place the fried chicken in a large mixing bowl. Pour the Gochujang Hot Honey Sauce over the chicken, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
  2. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavour and a touch of elegance.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Serve your Korean Fried Chicken hot with a side of steamed rice, pickled vegetables, or even a cool cucumber salad. Every bite delivers the satisfying crunch of perfectly fried chicken, followed by the bold, sweet, spicy, and tangy magic of Harry's Gochujang Hot Honey Sauce.
