Ingredients
400g of Chicken (boneless or bone in)
1tb of Rice Wine
1tb of Grated Ginger
2 Cups of Corn Flour
1/2 Cup of Ketchup
1tb of Gochujang
1tb of Honey
1tb of Light Soy Sauce
3 Cloves of Garlic
1te of Sesame Seed Oil
STEPS
In a large bowl combine 0.5 cup of corn flour, 1tb of rice wine, 1te of salt, 1tb of grated ginger and 0.5 cup of water stir well to combine. You should have a viscous starch like solution.
Cut your chicken into bite size pieces or leave them as it is if you would like bigger pieces of chicken.
Give your chicken a nice soak in the batter you have just made and let it sit for 5 minutes as you heat enough oil in a pot to deep fry these juicy little things.
In a large bowl add in 1.5 cups of corn flour and a pinch of salt.
Gently drop your marinated chicken in your flour mixture and get them nice and coated, you want to have clumps of flour all stuck over your chicken.
Dust off the excess flour and into the hot oil for 5-7 minutes till golden brown and cooked through. For bone in it will take longer 12-15 minutes depending on the piece and size.
In a pan add in 1te of sesame seed oil on medium heat and gently fry 3 cloves of minced garlic.
Once the whole room smells like garlic add in 1tb of gochujang, 1tb of honey, 1tb of light soy sauce, 1/2 cup of ketchup and a 1/4 cup of water. Stir till well combined and gently simmer till a sauce-like consistency forms.
Drop your lovely golden fried chicken babies into the sauce and coat well. Let each single piece of chicken be bathed in the lovely sauce.
Serve and eat Immediately.
Extra: Top it off with some chopped scallions and sesame seed for that extra flare if you wanna impress some peeps.
