  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds of chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch of ginger (minced)
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Green onions (sliced for garnish)
  • Oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, gochugaru, garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the chicken pieces in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the marinated chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. In another pan, combine honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil; simmer until the sauce thickens.
  5. Toss the fried chicken in the sweet and spicy sauce until fully coated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For crispy texture, ensure the oil is hot before frying the chicken.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a healthier option, the chicken can be air-fried at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes.
