1 bunch garlic chives, chopped

DRESSING

½ tsp gochukaru
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tsp hot honey

Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, ginger, grated garlic, salt and black pepper. Mix well, cover with cling wrap and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
To make the sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add peanut oil and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add gochujang, ketchup, hot honey, rice wine vinegar, salt, soy sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
For the salad, combine vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Remove from the heat and pour over cucumbers in a shallow heatproof bowl, set aside to cool.
Toss cabbage, spring onions, and chives in a large bowl. Put dressing ingredients in a screw top jar and shake until completely mixed, then toss through salad just before serving.
In a deep fryer or heavy based saucepan, heat oil to 175°C/347°F.
To coat chicken, whisk half of the flours with the eggs in a large bowl, then mix remaining flours together in a separate bowl.
Toss marinated chicken in egg and flour mixture until well coated, then toss in flour mixture and coat completely.
Place the chicken into the hot oil and fry in batches for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
Heat peanut oil to 190°C/375°F. Fry chicken again for 4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, add double-fried chicken and Korean sauce. Toss well to completely coat.
Spread toasted potato buns with some mayonnaise, then top with salad, some drained cucumber ribbons, a piece of chicken and bun top.

  2. Korean food, especially fusion like this, holds it's own against any world cuisine. My trip there was 11 years ago, and I'd go back in a second, just for the food.

  4. Come to Seed Kitchen and Bar in Marietta, Ga. We do a KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) sandwich for lunch that will blow your mind. The sandwich is served with sesame aioli, soy-citrus pickles, sesame seeds, and mixed greens tossed in our house vin.

    Edit: It’s a 4oz. breast tossed in our signature KFC sauce.

    How many years is it for you guys.

  9. Most of your videos are easy to follow without a lot of jump cuts or camera switching, but this one is insane. Can’t follow anything you’re doing with all the perspective changes and jump cuts

  11. I eat something similar but on a plate, the bread is on the side as toast, and I add Korean style fried rice with fried eggs cooked sunny up. Less messy than in a sandwich. 😅😘

    EDIT: forgot to mention the chicken is cut into large bite sized chunks. Of course, this requires slight changes to cooking times.

  12. If a burger is too big to fit inside your mouth. You’re probably American or trying to be like them. Drippy over sauced over sized and over filled burgers ain’t the one

  15. Looks so good….love the crunch. Love that you put the recipe in the description. Thank you .

  19. Potato bun, isn’t that a burger bun, never seen a potato bun, in our stores
