Description

A delicious recipe for Sweet & Spicy Korean Fried Chicken featuring crispy chicken wings coated in a flavorful sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • Oil for frying
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • For Garnish:
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper, then coat evenly in cornstarch.
