Sweet & Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Recipe

This was the perfect fakeaway. I just wish it wasn’t the hottest day of the year, standing over the hob, I felt like I was melting 💦

Sticky, sweet with a hint of heat. I decided to serve this with soy egg fried rice and crackers 😍 There would have been a side of veg, if I actually remembered to cook it! That’s one for our next fakeaway!

Recipe:

Serves 2 √ 1 chicken breast
√ 2 tbsp plain flour
√ 1 tsp garlic
√ 1 egg
√ 1 onion

For the sauce:

√ 1/4 cup honey
√ 1 tsp garlic
√ 1 tbsp brown sugar
√ 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
√ 2 tbsp cider vinegar
√ 3 tbsp gochujang Korean sauce

Method:

1) Whisk the garlic, egg and salt together.

2) Dice the chicken and dip in the egg and then coat in flour.

3) Shallow fry until golden and cooked through.

4) Remove the chicken from pan and drain the oil. Add all of the sauce ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce down for 5 minutes.

5) Add a dice onion to the sauce. Add the chicken and continue to reduce for 3-4 minutes.

6) Serve and enjoy your fakeaway!
