Korean fried chicken – A recipe for crispy Korean fried chicken with homemade sweet chili sauce. Korean fried chicken is deep-fried chicken in a crispy batter, which is tossed with a strong and sweet, sweet chili sauce.
The sauce in which the deep-fried chicken is tossed is made with e.g. gochujang, fermented chili paste that can be bought in well-stocked supermarkets or in Asian supermarkets. You can also use chili oil paste, e.g. the one from Chum Chum.
