Instructions
- Combine chicken pieces and buttermilk in a bowl, toss to coat. Marinate 20-60 minutes.
- Place flour and corn starch in two separate bowls.
- Discard excess buttermilk marinade and toss chicken pieces first in the flour then in the corn starch.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces to the oil, but be sure not to crowd the pan too much (you may need to do this in batches). Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes, flip and cook 3-4 minutes longer til golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with any remaining chicken.
- Add sauce to pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add chicken back to pan and stir til heated through.
- Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Buttermilk substitute: add 1 tablespoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice or white vinegar to one cup of any kind of milk. Give it a gentle stir. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Gochujang: is a thick, red paste that can be found in the Asian section of grocery stores.
