Best 4 Trendy Fried Chicken With Kimchi Slaw Recipes

KIMCHI FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk buttermilk, egg and kimchi together in a large bowl. Add chicken, making sure the pieces are coated and submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, white pepper and onion powder in a large shallow dish.
• Remove chicken from the buttermilk-kimchi mixture and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess. Transfer chicken to a plate; let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes, then dredge each piece again in the seasoned flour and place it back on the plate.
• Heat peanut oil in a large Dutch oven to a temperature of 325 degrees F. Add all the chicken to the pot and cook 15 minutes for bone-in pieces, 9 minutes for boneless pieces.
• Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F, then fry the boneless pieces for 4 more minutes or bone-in pieces for 10 more minutes.
• Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack again set over a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH SLAW AND SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• For spicy mayo and slaw:
• Mix garlic, mayonnaise, and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl; cover and chill. Toss onion, jalapeño, cabbage, pickles, and pickle juice in a large bowl to combine; cover and chill.
• For fried chicken and assembly:
• Whisk flour, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into another shallow bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge again in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/2". Prop deepfry thermometer in oil so bulb is submerged. Heat over medium heat until thermometer registers 350°F.
• Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet; season with salt. Spread cut sides of rolls with butter. Heat another large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook rolls buttered side down until browned and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Spread with spicy mayo. Build sandwiches with rolls, chicken, and cabbage slaw.

KIMCHI FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add the chicken to a large bowl. Put the kimchi in a food processer and blend until smooth. Add it to the chicken along with the buttermilk and stir until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, whisk the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, celery seeds, cumin and white pepper in a large bowl.
• Working with one piece of chicken at a time, remove from the kimchi marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat this process until all the chicken has been dredged once. Then dredge the chicken one piece at a time for a second time. This second dredge will make for an extra thick and crunchy crust. Repeat until all the chicken has been dredged twice. Let the chicken sit at room temperature while you heat up the oil.
• Fill a large high-sided skillet or cast-iron pan with a little more than 1/2-inch of oil and heat to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. When the oil is hot, fry the chicken in batches of 4 pieces until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes total, carefully turning the chicken once halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the fried chicken to a second wire rack set over a baking sheet. Allow the oil to return to 375 degrees F in between each batch.
• Sprinkle the chicken with sliced scallions and serve immediately.

FRIED KIMCHI

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Add kimchi. Saute until fragrant and slightly yellow, about 5 minutes. Add sesame oil; cook until kimchi is coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in vinegar to coat the bottom of the skillet. Increase heat slightly; bring vinegar to a boil. Add sugar. Reduce heat to low; cook until sugar dissolves and kimchi is browned, about 3 minutes.
