Korean Fried Chicken - One of my Top 3 favourite fried chicken recipes

[@Gluodin]

This recipe’s very on point. As a Korean who worked at a fried chicken store I can tell this is very similar to how they made the sauce. For anyone wanting more ‘authentic’ experience with the sauce, add a lot more garlic, to a point where you’d think ‘wtf, this can’t be right’. And a dash of strawberry jam. + supplementing honey with starch syrup.

[@Chris_Bonner]

We've never combined plain flour with potato starch though. That's the only difference I see.

[@pyrogenetix]

Strawberry jam... that's the secret

[@rakdoss8455]

@@Chris_Bonner reminds me of Japanese fried chicken, Karaage. Traditionally the starch was burdock root, later replaced with potato starch which has the same frying properties but has less risk of going bitter

[@house.m.d]

Infact koreans use pre-mixed flour called chiken powder

[@lolly_bread]

How would this go if you either: (A) put the sauce into the original mix with the egg & flours, or (B) lathered the sauce on before frying the second time? I ask because KFC has all of its flavour in the batter so it's not as wet and messy, etc.

Important thing to remember. If someone in your family doesn't like spicy, you can always get a new family member 👍

I love spicy food but I can’t eat it as it could put me in hospital with my bowel condition 😢

[@crimeunlimited]

Lame, If you can't cook without feeling the need to make it "spicy" then you just don't know how to cook.

[@Notapplicable8]

Ha ha

[@Blinky4321]

I love so much that there is zero bs with your videos. I love that you make a mess, that you adapt as you go along, that you say "ginger" instead of "garlic", but I think most importantly I LOVE that you haven't followed the trend of wearing black gloves while cooking!!! You're real and it is so damn refreshing!! Thank you so much!! Oh and I'm definitely gonnna try this one :) :)

[@lindsaymontgomery7981]

My husband was stationed in South Korea for a year, and still talks about how amazing the fried chicken was there! Definitely giving this one a try.

[@SpinAroundU]

My favourite cooking videos on KZbin, by far. I am amazed how well you can cook asian food, and how faithful your recipe always are!

[@All7777Fever]

In Australian cooking there's good representation from a lot of different cuisines, and quite often we learn directly from the people who bring their amazing food with them!

[@littlewesternwoman]

What's not to like about Andy! As endearing as you are supremely knowledgeable - thank you Andy and crew, you are a joy to watch and learn from, no matter where you are or what you're cooking 🎉 Peace

[@christidy432]

I make korean fried chicken often as my wife is South Korean. I learned that every recipe in Korea is a variation but the taste is always similar . I guess everyone makes it a little different, you can put strawberry jam in the sauce, strange as it sounds and maple syrup along with the regular ingredients, actual chicken is simple with a dusting of curry powder and ginger powder before making what style of batter. I'm amazed that it hasn't yet become really popular in the UK perhaps its too spicy for most Brits . Its always best to double fry for that extra crunch. Super yummy

[@sheshd]

Indian food seems to be the winner in the UK. In Australia Korean food is super popular and we are SPOILT for choice. I actually think we get better than south Korea! (Our chicken is really good)

[@tillonoma6155]

Hop on over to Hamburg - we've got a bunch of Korean restaurants popping up everywhere at the moment. If you're looking for fried chicken in particular, Kimchi Guys are the way to go, if you want Korean cuisine in general, then it's Yong.

[@Locomaid]

Berlin is tops for Korean food, too

[@georgeprout42]

I find KFC much too sweet, but I've seen a few people mention strawberry jam. Does it add much beyond the sweetness? Our local "bap" place makes it so that you can almost feel the diabetes kicking in.

[@BL2024-d2k]

Hi Andy! Long time watcher here!♡ GREAT recipe, v. authentic but chilly kimchi with chilly chicken is a combo we rarely do,it's not as popular as sweet, tangy, crunchyyyy daikon cube pickles sold at every Korean chicken shops in Korea and given out in a small tub every time people buy Korean Fried chicken in Korea. I share these info as ethnic Korea.Maangchi has very accurate chicken mu (치킨무) recipe. It really compliments the spicy chicken. ❤ and acts as a palate cleanser. Thank u for your recipes!♡♡♡

[@garethbranigan9277]

I don't often leave comments on recipe videos. I liked the fact this chicken recipe was all done in one boul, rather than dredging in egg and flour etc. I cooked it this evening, it was an absolute banger. So much flavour in the chicken. I adjusted the sauce, and used skin on Thighs. We both loved it. One of the best and easiest fried chicken recipes (compared to SFC) I have cooked.

[@ycanionlyevafind1sok]

I love that Andy struggling with packaging was left in; it makes us all feel that little bit better about ourselves

[@keanencarguez4203]

I'm a Filipino. For me the Korean style fried chicken is the best ingredients. So yummy, flavorful sweet, sour and salty. Asian fried chicken so yummy....

[@ThePiquet888]

1 (best chicken ever).. Karaage is super close behind. cucumber side is nice.. but pickled side dish is far better. korean radish (mu) or pickled cucumber. just cuts through the fried oil taste and keeps you going back for more of the chicken!!! luv your stuff Mr Andy... keep going hard!!

[@clperson17]

My brother recently moved close to Koreatown in LA, and we have been eating a ton of absolutely delicious korean food (including KFC). This looks stunning Andy, watching this has me craving some right now

[@simonag153]

Andy NEVER disappoints!!! It was spectacularly crispy and moist inside! I didn’t use the sause but a spice mix of salt, onion and garlic,q.b.! Delicious!!!! Thanks Andy❤

[@Dark_Reaper_86]

You *can* fry in olive oil as long as it's not EVOO or extra virgin olive oil. The EVOO is the first press and is the most olive like in flavor, but it's also more meant for salads, or topping a dish for a bit of extra flavor. To fry you want regular olive oil, or refined olive oil. It's much more heat resistant and a lot more neutral as well. EVOO only has like a 250-300F ish smoke point for shallow frying or a quick cook like a fried egg, where as refined olive oil is more like 350-400F. Which is about what you want for deep frying. Something like canola, peanut, vegetable, or grapeseed oil is a lot higher than olive oil though, closer to 450-500F. That's why most chefs and whatnot tell you to use those for high heat/deep frying

[@dabol6786]

Love how you left the backbone in. When I spatchcock a chicken I only cut one side of the backbone and leave it in. There is so much flavour there.

[@mdc2312]

I made this tonight! It was absolutely delicious!!! Thanks Chef!

[@Kent-Eric]

Nice to see this professionalism. Chicken on a plastic cutting board is so right ✌🏻 Have seen so many ”KZbin home chefs” that cut chicken on a wooden cutting board.

[@MrFordy90]

Got the book, love it! Banana bread is ace. I’ve been looking for a less sweet version for awhile now. In this video you mentioned keeping the carcass for stock, maybe another video idea? Please chef, show us your take on chicken stock!❤

Hey Andi! really enjoyed your cooking, even more the fact you did a mess with the flour and you did not edit the video like most chefs do, we all make a mess cooking and for one, i enjoy it haha. if i may recommend, replace the regular ketchup with banana ketchup and be generous with it, its a game changer

[@leegisu9186]

I'd like to give you some advice. 1. In Korea, what you eat with fried chicken is not cucumber pickle, but radish pickle. And we never eat kimchi together. 2. When eaten with rice, it is usually eaten with boneless chicken. Bite-sized chicken is good to eat together. The pickled radish served at chicken restaurants in Korea is called “chicken radish,” and it’s sour and sweet and really delicious.
