KOREAN VS. JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN

Fried chicken is a magical food. Japan takes karaage (their version of fried chicken) seriously, it's basically a religion in South Korea. There are over 50,000 Korean fried chicken restaurants throughout the local dining landscape. It's no joke. Here, I'm placing the two types head-to-head, using some classic techniques mixed with a healthy dose of creativity that sticks in line with traditional ingredients. I won't spoil it, but there's a clear winner.

Korean Fried Chicken

Ingredients:
6 chicken drums
2 cups water
1/2 cup salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp minced ginger
2 minced cloves garlic
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
2 tbs gochujang paste
2 cups potato starch

1. Brine drums in water and salt for 30 minutes (can use buttermilk here if desired).
2. While chicken is brining, combine sesame oil, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and gochujang. Stir over medium heat until well combined and a syrup like consistency.
3. Dredge wings in potato starch and shake off excess.
4. Fry at 325 Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, then again at 375 Fahrenheit until golden brown and crispy.
5. Coat wings in sauce and top with sesame seeds and honey. Enjoy immediately for maximum crisp.
