Best Korean Crispy Fried Chicken Recipe

Are you a fan of Korean fried chicken? The fried chicken in Korea is renowned for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. The key to making the perfect Korean fried chicken is in the marinade. This marinade recipe is a combination of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other spices that infuse the chicken with a flavorful punch. The fried chicken is then coated in a light and crunchy batter that gives it that signature crisp.

Ingredients

1 pound of chicken (thighs, breasts, or wings)
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1/2 cup of cold water
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl and mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk together until evenly combined. Add the cold water and whisk until the mixture is smooth.

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Working in batches, dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter and then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry the chicken for about 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve the fried chicken with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
