Ingredients You'll Need:
Main Ingredients:
- Chicken Thighs: 500g (Bite-sized pieces)
- Potato Starch: 1/2 cup (For maximum crunch)
- Honey: 1/3 cup
- Gochujang Chili Paste: 2 tbsp
- Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
- Sesame Seeds: 1 tbsp (Toasted for garnish)
For the Hot Honey Sauce:
- Honey: 1/3 cup
- Gochujang: 2 tbsp
- Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
- Minced Garlic: 1 clove
- Chili Flakes: 1/2 tsp
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. COAT
Season your bite-sized chicken thighs (500g) with salt and pepper. Place them in a bowl and coat the chicken pieces evenly and thoroughly in potato starch.
2. FIRST FRY
Heat your oil to 160°C (320°F). Carefully place the coated chicken in the oil and fry for 6–7 minutes until they turn a light golden color. Remove the chicken and let it drain.
3. DOUBLE FRY
Bring the oil temperature up to 190°C (375°F). Place the chicken back in the oil and fry again for 2–3 minutes until it turns deeply golden brown and becomes ultra-crispy. Drain well on a wire rack.
4. GLAZE
In a saucepan, combine the honey, Gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Simmer all together for 1–2 minutes until slightly thick. Turn off the heat, add the extra-crunchy double-fried chicken to the pan, and toss in the hot honey sauce until every piece is beautifully glossy and sticky. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot!
