paso a paso

Preparación

  1. Marinate the chicken

    • In a bowl, combine the chicken with the eggs, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and seasonings.
    • Mix well and marinate as long as you wish, ideally 1 hour.
    Paso 1
  2. Coat the chicken

    • For frying: add the cornstarch and flour directly into the same bowl and mix until evenly coated and sticky.
    • For air frying: mix the cornstarch and flour in a separate bowl, then toss the chicken removed from the marinade in the dry mix, pressing lightly so it sticks.
    Paso 2
  3. Fry the chicken

    • Heat the neutral oil to 175 °C.
    • Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy, then transfer to a rack.
    Paso 3
  4. Air fry the chicken (alternative)

    • Oil the basket and spray or brush the chicken with oil.
    • Cook at 190 °C, flip, then cook more until crispy and cooked through, working in batches.
    Paso 4
  5. Make the sauce

    • In a pan over medium-low heat, combine the gochujang, ketchup, sesame seeds, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and gochugaru.
    • Bring to a simmer, add the butter and stir until melted, then remove from the heat.
    Paso 5
  6. Toss the chicken in the sauce

    • Add the chicken directly to the sauce and toss, or combine your desired amount of sauce with the chicken in a mixing bowl to control how saucy it gets.
    Paso 6
  7. Serve

    • Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
