Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken breast (cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup flour (gluten-free works as well)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • Canola oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Mixing them early allows those flavors to meld together beautifully while you prepare everything else.
  2. Coat the Chicken: In a large shallow bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, salt, and black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into beaten eggs first and then toss them in the dry mixture until they are fully coated.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of canola oil into a deep frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add batches of coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy—about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  5. Toss with Sauce: Once cooked, remove the chicken from oil and let it rest on a plate. Discard excess oil from your pan but leave just enough to coat your chicken gently. Add your prepared sauce back to the pan with chicken and toss until everything is beautifully coated.
  6. Serve It Up: Plate up your Korean Fried Chicken and if you'd like, top it off with a sprinkling of green onion and sesame seeds.
