Judy Joo Instagram – Happy Sunday! 🙌 Perfect time to share a recipe highlight from my @SundayBrunchc4 appearance, where I made my famous Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich– just like the one we sell @seoulbirduk. This is not just a sandwich, it’s an experience. Extra crispy on the outside, and deliciously juicy on the inside. Let me walk you through it. 🍗🇰🇷
For the chicken precoat:
30g cornflour/starch
2½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking powder
Freshly ground black pepper
6 chicken boneless skinless thighs or breasts
Mix together salt, cornflour, baking powder, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture to cover, shaking off any excess. Place chicken on a wire rack to keep dry.
For the Batter:
64g cornflour/starch
20g fine matzo meal
30g plain flour
2 tbsp Korean chilli flakes (gochugaru)
1 tbsp sea salt
2½ tsp garlic powder
2½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp baking powder
90ml vodka
Mix together all of the above ingredients and add just enough cold water to make the consistency like paint, like a thickish slurry.
For the BBQ sauce:
3 tbsp Korean chilli paste (gochujang)
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tbsp dark brown soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
Mix all of the above together in a small sauce pan, bring to a simmer over low heat, allow to cook over low heat for about 3 mins while whisking (do not let burn). Remove from heat, set aside.
For the Sandwich:
6 potato buns, split, buttered, and toasted (or pan fried, flat side down)
6 tbsp kewpie mayonnaise
½ head iceberg lettuce
6 slices red onion or tomato
250g cabbage kimchi, diced
Dip the precoated chicken into the wet batter and immediately fry in oil at 350F / 180C. If you want to double fry (extra crispy) do the first fry at 300F/150C, allow chicken to rest then do the second fry at 350F/180C until bronzed. Spread bun with mayo, place chicken in, slather with bbq sauce, top with lettuce, onion, kimchi, top bun and enjoy.
