KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN (YANGNYEOM CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Wash chicken wings, and drain thoroughly. Mix with the salt, pepper, and ginger. Let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or longer (overnight to 24 hours).
- Combine all the sauce ingredients of your choice and stir well. Boil over medium heat until it thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- OPTION 1 Dry batter: If using the starch only, add the potato (or cornstarch) to the chicken, and rub it onto each wing well to coat evenly. Set aside.
- OPTION 2 Wet batter: Mix the wet batter ingredients in a bowl, and stir well until smooth with no visible lumps.
- Add the oil to a deep fryer, wok, or large pot. Heat the oil to 320°F (up to 330°F). Drop the chicken in the oil, one piece at a time. If using wet batter, dip each piece in the wet batter with tongs and shake off excess batter before dropping the chicken in the oil. Fry them in two batches. Cook until lightly golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken wings. Remove them with a wire skimmer or a slotted spoon. Drain on a wire rack or in a large mesh strainer set on a bowl.
- Reheat the oil to 350°F (up to 360°F). Add the chicken (you can do this in one batch for the second frying), and deep fry again, for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or in a large mesh strainer set on a bowl.
- You can either toss the fried chicken pieces in the sauce or hand-brush them. Sprinkle with the optional sesame seeds or chopped scallion to serve.

Steps:
- Whisk together the soy, vinegar, honey, chili paste, ginger and garlic in a bowl and divide the mixture in half. Add 1 half to a large baking dish, then add the chicken, turning to coat. Cover and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Add the green onions, sesame oil, black pepper and sesame seeds to the remaining half of the mixture. Reserve it as a dipping sauce for the finished chicken.
- Light a grill, making sure to include a zone of indirect heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and put it over the charcoal, skin side down. Grill until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Relocate the chicken to the indirect heat zone, lower the cover and grill until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and carve. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve wrapped in tortillas, if desired, with dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
- Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
- Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

LIZZIE'S KOREAN CHICKEN
Categories Chicken
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- For the chicken: Cut the chicken into one-inch pieces (I used kitchen shears for this). Whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the chicken, tossing to make sure that all chicken makes contact with the marinade. Let it sit for about 30-40 minutes at room temperature. Remove chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon (a lot of the marinade will cling to the chicken, and that is fine) and cook the chicken in a lightly-oiled pan. I found that starting it over high heat until the exterior was well-browned and then reducing the heat to low/medium produced the best results - it allowed for nice searing initially, and the low heat carmelizes the sugar in the marinade. Rinse off the lettuce leaves and heap them on a platter. Let everyone serve themselves with lettuce and chicken, tearing off pieces of lettuce and wrapping the chicken in it. Serve with spicy vinegar dipping sauce. For the sauce: Stir it all together. Make sure the sugar is mostly dissolved. That's it.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Put the hen, breast side down, in an 8-quart stockpot and add water to within 2-inches of the top of the pot; this will vary according to the size of your pot, but the hen should float clear of the bottom of the pot and be covered completely. Add the salt and pepper. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the drumstick joint twists easily. Allow the chicken and broth to cool slightly, and then remove the hen to a colander.
- Strain the broth into a very large bowl. Cover the broth and place in in the refrigerator. When the fat solidifies on the top of the broth, remove and discard it. Remove the chicken from the bones and cut or shred the meat by hand into small pieces. Set aside 2 cups of the broth and refrigerate or freeze the rest for another use. (Leftover broth may also be frozen in individual containers to be used another time.)
- For the dumplings: Heat 2 quarts of the defatted chicken broth in a 3-quart saucepan. While it heats, put the flour in a medium bowl. Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in 3/4 cup water and stir the mixture into the flour to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Heavily flour a rolling pin and roll out the dough very thin (you can also divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each portion separately, which will give you thinner dumplings). With a very sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2 by 4-inch strips.
- When the broth reaches a rolling boil, add some of the strips of dough. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and bring back to a boil. Continue to add the dough strips in batches, always raising the heat to bring the broth back to a rolling boil before dropping in more dough strips and reducing the heat to simmer before covering the pot again. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper to taste. Add the 2 cups of cooked chicken, heat and serve.

Tips for Making Korean Chicken:
- Use a good quality gochujang (Korean chili paste). This is the key ingredient that gives Korean chicken its characteristic flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of gochujang to your taste. Some people like their Korean chicken very spicy, while others prefer a milder flavor.
- If you don't have gochujang, you can substitute another type of chili paste, such as sriracha or sambal oelek. Just be sure to adjust the amount to taste.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your Korean chicken. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts should be cooked through but still juicy. If you overcook them, they will be dry and tough.
- Serve Korean chicken with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Korean chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its spicy and sweet flavor, Korean chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Korean chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
