For those looking for the recipe, OP tried to post the link, though it's not showing up here for some reason. Here it is:

"4 servings, 15 minutes of prep, 1 hour total.

Wing ingredients: Vegetable oil, 1 tsp. kosher salt, 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 2 lb. chicken wings, 1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger, 1/2 c. cornstarch

Sauce ingredients: 3 tbsp. butter, 5 small dried red chilis, sliced, 1 tbsp. freshly minced ginger, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 c. gochujang, 2 tbsp. ketchup, 1 tbsp. rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 c. honey, 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar

Garnish ingredients: 1/2 c. cocktail peanuts, 1 tbsp. sesame seeds, 1 green onion, sliced

  1. Make wings: In a deep pot over medium-high heat, heat 4 to 6 cups vegetable oil to 275°. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, baking powder, and garlic powder.

  2. Pat wings dry with paper towels, then rub with grated ginger and season with salt mixture. In a large bowl, toss wings with cornstarch and squeeze to compress coating onto each wing.

  3. Carefully add wings to oil and fry until skin is just lightly crisped and golden, occasionally flipping with tongs, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove wings from oil and set aside on prepared plate. Let rest briefly.

  4. Heat frying oil to 400°. Return wings to pot and fry again until deeply golden and skin is crisp and crunchy, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove wings from oil and place in a large mixing bowl.

  5. Make sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add butter, dried chilis, ginger, and garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in gochujang, ketchup, vinegar, and soy sauce and cook until bubbling. Stir in honey and brown sugar and continue cooking until bubbling and slightly thickened.

  6. Pour sauce over wings and toss until evenly coated. Add in peanuts and toss to combine.

  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion before serving."

Wouldn't 50/50 flour+cormstarch be more crisper?

I tried and it was really good, but whenever i cooked it, the chicken was kinda soggy because of the sauce and make it less crispy, is that supposed to be like that? I tried to pour less sauce but it results to not all of the chicken coated by the sauce

The trick I’ve found is with the double fry. Fry once till golden brown, take out then fry again at higher temp

Never tried this one, i will when i make it again, thanks!

Nah, it aint supposed to be like that. One of the amazing things about Korean FC is the retention of crunch, even through sauce.

Did you go and grab one of those bags of Fried Chicken mix? That's the simplest method, I reckon.

Sadly i can't find the fried chicken mix in my town, i usually use a mix of flour + corn flour

razor_eddie t1_iskvplr wrote

Try to find some potato starch - that would seem to be the main thing you're missing.

andeke07 t1_isjc0ab wrote

I did a similar recipe recently, apparently the trick is to use potato starch instead of cornstarch or flour. I was able to pick some up at my local Asian supermarket. Also the double fry.

Alright, 2 tips gotten, gonna try both of them.

Edit: i forgot to say thanks. So thanks for the tips!

Looks like aftermath of a fucking brutal fight in an over the top action movie where the hero is covered in blood - like everyone else in the pile - he's taken on like 50 men and is like a second away from finally strangling the last enemy to death on a pile of it's dead comrades. Once it's done the hero staggers up and off the pile, exhausted but victorious.

Yes buying korean fried chicken from stalls can be a little expensive , its best if you can DIY , and taste as good . And its making me hungry! 🍗

AC_Schnitzel OP t1_isi30bb wrote

Yes! It’s not hard, and is inexpensive to DIY as you say. I highly recommend it!

reminds me of 양념치킨 I’d always have at the bars before the whole double-fried chicken craze took hold 20 years back.

looks sooo good.

when my body calls for grease, I go for Popeyes. When my stress level is high, Yangyum chicken gives me enough kick in my brain. And Fried chicken is not a meal in Korea, it’s rather a snack (afternoon/ happy hour/ midnight).

Is it had with any sides usually? Or just by itself

wow! i was just asking another user if they'd tried it. In Hawaii, it's very popular, but don't know about any place else.

The glaze looks perfect!

That's excellent; I love Korean food; bi bim bop is my absolute all-time favorite.

When I was a kid, my best friend's grandmother used to make taegu, the old fashioned way, in vats. Real codfish, too. This is what tastebuds are for.

I was just watching Ugly Delicious with David Chang, the whole episode was about fried chicken across the world. It's one of the few meals that spans across the entire globe that nearly every country can agree on. Pretty enlightening show

That’s awesome. I also didn’t know that Korean fried chicken was an invention from the African American GI’s during the Korean War

Galaxium t1_iskfzvb wrote

That’s actually a myth from that one cooking show. It is not true in the slightest.

Frying chicken was done for hundreds of years already.

Mate, I literally made this last Friday. Took me about half an hour to double shallow fry all the chicken but damn was it worth it. Ate it with rice, kimchi, and some stir fried cabbage. Nice job!

Oh yeah, tip is to add an egg after the chicken is starched, then mix it a little more. Without it, my batter tended to let loose and not get as crispy. Double fry for extreme crunch, which then gets softened by the sauce.

AC_Schnitzel OP t1_ismjlun wrote

The double fry is key! I’ll try the egg next time

When I go into a restaurant, what do I ask for specifically for this? What is the red saucer called? Been into a few Korean restaurants and they have various sauces and always manages not to get the good sweet red one. Please help!

How so? Korean fried chicken is differentiated with a potato starch-based batter and its own set of coatings.

It ain't Korean unless you chopped the entire chicken into cubes, bones and all.
