Korean Fried Chicken Vs. American Fried Chicken

[@user-ls6pg3cd9l]

As a Korean American, I totally agree with Josh. 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).

Pro tip: For the Korean version, you'll want the sauce to be hot when you dress the chicken. Heat it up if it's cold but do not cook the garlic. The almost raw garlic is what gives it that taste.

I agree that it depends on what you want at the moment. I like to think that USA, Korea, and Phillipines are the top places for fried chicken. Japanese Karaage and Taiwanese fried chicken are no slouches either. They're all just as good.

@@francisryaneusebio732 fried chicken in the Philippines is very similar to what we have in America. One unique thing though is that it is commonly eaten with gravy.

Even McDonald's has fried chicken with free flowing gravy. And it's so good!

[@SoloAdvocate]

This is so well timed, me and some of my friends have been talking about KFC (Korean Fried Chicken not the Colonel) recently due to a restaurant we ate at that had some REALLY good KFC. We ended up going to it because the other place we get it at was full. I was happy because the gochujang really shone through in theirs. I just love anything with gochujang to be fair. I am one of the only people I know who constantly has a tub of it in the fridge, super glad it is now easier to find with it being stocked in other supermarkets and not just Asian ones(since I don't have one near me). It is just good with about anything and has such an addicting flavor to me. So it being really gochujang forward made me want to drink the sauce, I will have to try making your version. I don't typically do mirin or ketchup, and sometimes just go for honey instead of doing brown sugar (sometimes both though). I also add ginger and sometimes sesame oil depending on what I am using it for. This all stemmed from my love of Spicy Pork and wanting to make it at home years ago, I discovered gochujang was what I loved most about it. If anyone actually sees this comment don't be afraid to try a gochujang in and on EVERYTHING. It is a versatile condiment. Edit: Also try adding ginger it adds a good dynamic to the sauce.

[@dathunderman4]

It’s because the Korean palate requires acidic and spicy flavors to cut thru anything greasy/rich. It’s why Koreans eat kimchi with anything (I can’t eat steak without kimchi). This balance allows you to eat these types of rich/fatty foods without feeling gross after just a few bites

[@bubbadeaux2962]

I use potato starch instead of corn (*although corn starch will do in a pinch, and is easier to find at the market*). This is a way for people who are gluten free to have delicious fried chicken. Double fry - every time. Another tip I have found with Korean fried chicken is to dredge in the starch, place on a wire rack, and place in the fridge for an hour or so. It causes the starch to absorb moisture, and makes for a better coating.

[@BRAMZY]

Made this recipe with a few tweaks to the flour dredge to try and bump up the flavour but found the paprika overpowered it while not having enough salt. Otherwise turned out amazingly juicy and crispy!

[@cutiepatootie_101]

Wow!! I love watching your videos❤ I like to cook your amazing recipes for my younger siblings! Thank you Josh! Love your videos

[@barchtic]

My recommendation from my experiences with the Korean chicken. Use potato starch with a small amount of flour for the dredge. Less vinegar, add Korean red chili powder (finer ground works a bit better), some corn syrup/other syrup (honey etc). That amount of garlic is seriously necessary, it’s worth it I promise.

I mean the korean fried chicken's origin is basically southern fried chicken. we took it in and made it our own. There are many many ways to make korean fried chicken and the way I do it is to actually use some of the southern fried chicken's spices during curing to give that popeyes-like kick to it. There are many korean fried chicken brand in korea that does the same thing (adding paprika and what not to give that extra kick to the bite). And in Korea, there's not a single style of korean fried chicken... it's like pasta for Italians. You don't just eat tomato pasta. You have many different versions. There are as many different styles of fried chicken in Korea as there are different styles of pastas in italy, and I am not exaggerating.

I think that anyone who believes there is an objective “better” version of food across cultures does not understand food at all. There is more to the world of food than just what your tastebuds tell you. Culture matters, everyone’s individual lives and experiences matter, and, in the end, there is a higher level of understanding that is needed to understand food to the full extent possible. A level that most people won’t reach. Still, it’s good to be mindful of that.

Bros, both are great and "equally delicious." You cant really compare. As a Korean American, i absolutely love both. Koreans owe it to the Americans for showing us how its done. Koreans added their own twist to meet their own flavors and appetites. I truly love both. Hell I even I ove kfc. I personally prefer honey garlic as opposed to the traditional yangnyum (gochujang base). Or even better, plain flavor dipped in that creamy white onion sauce.

Korean fried chicken has many versions, including fried and the spicy kinds. Even their roasted chicken is seriously good, when it's traditionally accompanied with the sweet radish pickles. I love the Korean chicken just because of the radish pickles that usually accompany the dish. You don't get this in the American chicken, as you'd get the coleslaw instead. Anyway, I find the American chicken a tad bit salty for me, but the Korean chicken, despite the spicy flavor tends to add the salty taste, I enjoy it because I'd always eat with rice. It balances out the salty flavor and when you have alcohol drinks, like beer or wine, with it, omg, it is what heaven feels like.

they've been frying chicken since Sejong (without breading) and have many styles of pan-frying and deep-frying chicken

[@frillylily8005]

@@frillylily8005 I meant the typical American fried chicken as in KFC and Popeye-like chickens, not the other kinds of those specially made ones

[@c3ru1ean41]

American fried chicken has many different varieties as well though. Probably even more.

@@doldemenshubarti8696 The chicken fry they used during sejong wouldn’t be classified as the crispy fried batter chicken that is used today in Korea.It’s more of just pan frying with just seasonings. The modern version was brought over by G I during the Korean War. It was not until the 1970s when cooking oil was widely available that the modern fried chicken started appearing in Korea. The first modern Korean fried chicken franchise, Lims Chicken, was established in 1977 in the basement of Shinsegae Department Store, Chungmu-ro, Seoul[12][11] by Yu Seok-ho. Yu stated that his idea of selling smaller, individual pieces of fried chicken in Korea came along in 1975 when he went to go study abroad in the United States. He began frying chicken there, and received accolades for creating 'ginseng chicken'.

I like asian styled fried chicken. There's a balance of batter to chicken, as western fried chicken sometimes has a higher batter ratio, thus can become quite tiresome after a while. Mist asian fried chicken will use potato or corn starch as well, which gives it a light crisp, where as the western fried chicken is predominantly flour, which is thick and can be hard
