Korean Fried Chicken
Report
Korean fried chicken, or Yangnyeom chicken, has juicy breaded chicken tossed in a sweet and spicy glaze. It’s truly what dreams are made of! Gochujang paste gives it its classic spicy flavor, but the added honey and brown sugar tone it down enough that the whole family will love it. One bite, and you'll be addicted!

Instructions
Fried Chicken
- Heat a large pot with vegetable or canola oil for frying over high heat. You can also deep fry the chicken in a deep fryer.

- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 eggs together, then add the seasoned chicken. Stir to coat with the eggs.
- In another bowl, add 1 cup cornstarch to coat the chicken.
- Dip one piece of the egg-coated chicken in the cornstarch. Shake off any excess cornstarch and place it into a pot of hot oil. Repeat these steps until the pot is full but not overcrowded. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and crispy on the outside.
- Carefully remove the fried chicken from the oil using a strainer. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel while you finish frying the remaining chicken. The paper towel will soak up any excess oil.

- Place the sauce mixture in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Add the fried chicken to the saucepan and carefully toss to coat the chicken in the sauce.
- Garnish with green onion and red pepper flakes before serving!
