- 1 kimchi
- 1 Nick’s Hatsas
Korean Fried Chicken
- 1 1/10 lb chicken thigh fillets
- 1 1/10 cup buttermilk
- 5 3/10 oz flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste oil
Korean Sauce
- 0.51 cup gochujang
- 1 fl oz honey
- 1 fl oz soy sauce
- 1 fl oz rice vinegar
- 0.51 fl oz sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
Coleslaw
- 7 1/10 oz green cabbage
- 3 1/2 oz carrots
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 0.51 fl oz rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 11. Place the chicken thigh fillets in a bowl, cover with buttermilk, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to tenderize.
- 22. In a large shallow dish combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper; whisk to distribute evenly.
- 33. Heat a deep pot of oil to 347°F (350°F). Remove chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
- 44. Carefully lower the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry for 7–10 minutes, turning once, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F). Drain on paper towels.
- 55. While the chicken fries, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl; set aside.
- 66. In a large bowl combine shredded green cabbage and carrots. Add mayonnaise, the remaining 15 ml of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper; toss until the slaw is evenly coated.
- 77. Slice the hamburger buns horizontally, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each cut side, and toast them lightly in a skillet or oven until just golden.
- 88. Assemble each burger: place a fried chicken piece on the bottom bun, drizzle generously with the prepared Korean sauce, top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw, add a portion of kimchi, and finish with the top bun.
- 99. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and the buns are crisp.
