Korean Fried Chicken

Korean Fried Chicken is a traditional dish of Korean cuisine. This is the most incredibly delicious chicken I’ve ever eaten! Tender meat inside, crunching crust, scalding sauce with notes of nuts (for some reason I felt them in Kochujang paste). This dish is for a big and noisy company! The taste of infused Korea is on your plate. Cooking is simple, but not everyone has the right ingredients, especially if you don’t live in Korea. I had to order the delivery of Kochujang pasta, since it is the main flavor ingredient and without it the taste will not be the same at all. We are looking for ingredients on Amazon or in local stores.
