Crunchy Korean fried chicken recipe (Dakgangjeong: 닭강정)

Hi everybody! Today, I'm making Korean fried chicken. Sweet and crunchy crunchy! Korean name is dakgangjeong. What? You made dakgangjeong with my old recipe? Five years ago, I uploaded my dakgangjeong recipe. But today's recipe is different version of dakgangjeong. Which is easier, faster, what else? Delicious! When you make this for any party, padlock party, family getting together, or Super Bowl party, you will get a lot of attention and compliments. I guarantee it. We need chicken! This is a chicken wing. You know, huge package is cheaper price. I always buy this and I cut this in half. You can use any chicken, chunks of chicken. Chicken, even the drumstick, and cut it in half and then you can use this. Wash couple of times in cold water. Wash your cutting board very clean. Half teaspoon salt. Ground black pepper. Ginger, one teaspoon amount. Mix like this using your both hands. We need starch. So potato starch I'm using. You can use also corn starch. So one third cup. One by one. Coat each chicken piece very lightly like this. We need more potato starch. Another one third cup. So total two third cup. So on the bottom, a little like watery stuff. And let's leftover starch powder nicely. Now it's all coated very beautifully. And then we are going to fry this. Today I'm going to use grape seed oil. We are going to do double fry. You know my old chicken, fried chicken is always fried food is I do double fry. People are asking me, why you double fry? When you fry the first time it looks very crispy but sooner or later it looks soggy and also sometimes the chicken is not cooked thoroughly. That's why I always double fry. Always the chicken is well, well cooked. Also really, really crunchy. So that's the kind of my secret. Like this. I cooked this for 12 minutes. And now it looks really crunchy. So let's take it out. Next batch. Let's add. You see the lots of bubbles? It's very scary, right? And then on the bottom there is some starch. So just stir this with your tongs like that. And then we can make it calm down. I need to second fry now. I'm going to a little lower the heat because it's really hot. So it's a splash. And I'm going to add this one too, together. I'm going to prepare sauce now. Four cloves of garlic. About one and a half tablespoon. And this is optional. But I like to give the kick. Red pepper. Dried red pepper I'm using. Seeds. Remove the seeds like this. Okay, let's check out our chicken. On the bottom part it's really golden brown. But top part is not yet. So we need to turn it over. You see my pot is small. And you guys have a large pot and more oil. And then it'll be really easy. You can fry them all together. What we want is real, real crunchy. I really don't like that chicken is not crunchy. This way you make this until tomorrow it's going to be crunchy. Fry these guys until it turns like a rock. But inside it has to be a little juicy. You can feel this crunchiness with the tip of your tongs. Like this and the sound. That means they're real, real crunchy. Outside, inside is juicy. Really great. Okay, let's take them out. One by one. Isn't it golden brown exactly? Really awesome. This is optional. But I like to add some nuts here. So I'll use peanuts. Make it more crispy. And 30 seconds you can fry this. Color change to white. Okay, done. Be careful. I'm going to move this to the stove. Let's make sauce. Cooking oil, around two tablespoons. Garlic and dried red pepper. And stir this. Oh, spicy smell! Soy sauce, quarter cup. Mul-yeot, half a cup. Mul-yeot. I'm going to lower the heat. And vinegar. One tablespoon vinegar. Will make this sauce really tasty. Tangy. I found out this little bit of mustard sauce make this sauce really special. Oops! One tablespoon. Mixture is spicy and a little garlicky. Turn it up a little bit. To make it more sweet and shiny. One tablespoon brown sugar. Let's see. Wow, wow! And peanuts. Okay. Wow, looks nice. Done! Sesame seeds. Oh my, oh my! I need beer. Cheers, everybody! Okay, let me taste it! Mmm! Crunchy outside, inside juicy, soft, tender. And it's like a candy. Goes with beer! Enjoy my crunchy, crunchy chicken recipe! See you next time! Bye!
