  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp fresh garlic
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1 oz Mirin (can sub rice wine vin or similar)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 quart grapeseed oil (can sub oil of your choice) for frying
  • Salt and Pepper

Directions

  • Heat your oil to 350°- 375°
  • Season your chicken with salt and pepper
  • In a separate bowl put your potato starch. Individually coat your chicken.
  • While oil is hot, fry your chicken for 12-14 minutes. Your going to double fry**
  • In a skillet, heat your sesame oil. Add your garlic, ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add your mirin, soy sauce and gochujang. Simmer for 5 minutes and add your brown sugar at the the last minute.
  • After you re 12 minutes of frying the chicken, pull out of the oil and let sit for 1 minute. Add your chicken back into the oil and fry for an additional 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. (This assures your chicken is super crispy)
