Korean Sweet and Crispy Chicken

This has become of our favorite dish too . This morning i decided to make this sweet and crispy korean fried chicken . They’re easy to make , except it takes time to deep fry them . And plus you have re-fry them again to guarantee the crispiness of the chicken . Other than that , it’s pretty easy and delicious . The sliced ginger in the sauce turns out to be like a candy by the time the sauce is caramelized . Make sure do not over cook the sauce , or else the sauce not only caramelized , but it’ll get tough and break your teeth LOL ..

3 lbs of chicken wings , or about 20 chicken wings

2 tsp. salt

1 tsp.ground black pepper

2 eggs

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 cup of cornstarch

Mix them all together well , deep fry about 7 minutes , take them out , and re-fry them again for another 7-10 minutes to guarantee its crispiness .Set aside

Meanwhile in a wok :

1 cup of water , boil

1 cup of ginger , sliced thin

1 cup of brown sugar

2 tbsp. soy sauce

1/4 cup of white vinegar

Bring water to boil , then add ginger and the rest of ingredients , bring to boil , for 5 minutes , then add :

1 cup of corn syrup

Cook about 30 minutes , low to medium heat until caramelized . Should be stringy when you try to drop the sauce from a spoon . Then return the chicken into the sauce , mix well , add toasted sesame seed and red pepper flakes ( optional )
