Korean Fried Chicken Sauce image

This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.

This recipe is really easy to follow and the sauce is delicious. I made it with boneless, skinless chicken thighs and it turned out perfectly crispy and juicy. The sauce is a great balance of sweet and spicy, and it really elevates the chicken. I wil
