Today, I will make Korean style mini fried chicken with a sweet and mildly spicy sauce. The reason I use the name “mini” for this recipe is because I will use bite sized pieces of chicken breast for it. It’s nice to eat since it is small pieces of fried chicken without the bone and skin. Try this yummy Korean-style fried chicken for party or football game snack someday. 
Chicken Ingredients:
- 1 Chicken Breast
- 1/2 Tbsp Cooking Wine
- 3 Pinches Salt
- 2 Pinches Black Pepper
- Some Oil for frying
Batter Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Corn Starch for covering
- 1 Egg White
- 4 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 1/2 Tbsp Water
Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Ketchup
- 2 Tbsp Honey or Corn Syrup
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine
- 1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Onion
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Paste
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Pinch Black Pepper
Yield: 2 Servings
- Cut 1 piece of chicken breast into half inch cubes.
- Add 3 pinches of salt, 2 pinches of black pepper, and 1/2 tbsp of cooking wine. Set it aside for about 10 minutes.
Add 1 tbsp of corn starch to cover the chicken.
That will help the batter stick better to the chicken.
To make the batter, combine 4 tbsp of corn starch, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of water.
Put the chicken into the batter and mix.
To make the sauce, mix 2 tbsp of ketchup, 2 tbsp of honey or corn syrup,
1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tbsp of finely chopped onion, 1 tbsp of cooking wine, 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of red pepper paste, 1 tsp of mayonnaise, 1 tsp of sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and 1 pinch black pepper all together.
I’m going to fry the chicken twice to make it extra crispy.
When the chicken pieces are light brown, remove them from the oil.
Fry them once more until they become golden brown like this.
Once the sauce starts to boil, cook 1 more minute on medium heat.
Add the fried chicken into the sauce, and mix it well.
Add 1 tsp of sesame seeds.
If you don’t want sesame seeds, you can use chopped peanuts instead.
Wow, it looks very delicious. Enjoy.

Hi Aeri, I just found your website. Thanks for posting a lot of videos for different kinds of Korean foods. I am planning to make the fried chicken this weekend. I will visit your website often
Take good care!
Hi, znoopygirl
I hope you enjoyed your fried chicken. haha… I will remember that you will visit my website often. 
Thanks !! Have a great week.
Nice to meet you!! I’m happy that you found my site.
Thanks! By the way I already tried the recipe together with your recipe for Kimchi fried rice and everyone loved it!! I also have the same problem with retaining the crispiness of the chicken. But that aside it tasted wonderful my wife loved it. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
Hi, jhny69
Thanks for sharing your successful experience of Korean cooking. very happy to hear that !! Yes, I might have to do more experience to find a recipe to make the chicken more crispy. 
Wow, you are a sweet husband who cooks for a wife.
hi unni! i was wondering if you prefer to use honey or corn syrup? cuz i have both~~~ =)
Hi, Christine
I will prefer to use honey..because it’s healthier and taste is also good for this recipe. Thanks ~~~
Hi, Aeris! Great Recipe. I have one question though why did you add two kinds of oil to the sauce? Sesame and Olive oil right? What was the purpose of the Olive oil? Does it bring more flavour? Thanks! More Power to you!
Hi, jhny69
Yes, both oils have own flavor.. oils give the sauce good texture also.. (I wonder if I can use the word “texture” here) make your sauce.. (fried chicken) look a little shiny…You can use normal oil instead of olive oil but I prefer olive oil..healthier and taste god. Sesame oil.. you don’t want to add too much for your food because it has storng flavor in it.. so if you put too much..other flavor from other ingredients will be hidden.. so use 2 kinds of oil here.. I hope my answer helped your curiosity a little. Thanks!!
I made this tonight. It was so great. My husband ate almost the whole plate! I had garlic fried rice and fresh green beans as the sides. Thanks for a great recipe. I will be trying our your Korean steaks tomorrow!

I made this aeri and it was SO GOOD! it had just the right spiciness and sweetness and all that good stuff.
they ate ALL of it. woohoo!
i didn’t make the batter for the chicken watery looking…i added water to the cornstarch until it resembled a really thick glue and added the egg white. it was REALLY crispy and it stayed crispy even with the sauce on it
Hi, farleen~
So your choice for super bowl menu was good !!! hehe..I’m very happy to hear that. “they ate ALL of it” haha That proves that your food was yummy. Good job, farleen again ~~~ Thank you very much, you saved my time and effort to test another batch of that dish. I will tell people how it can be crispy. thanks !!!
I am making this for my super bowl party. WOOHOO! i can’t wait.
i’ll let you know how it turns out.
Hi, farleen
Oh~~~ will you ?? One thing I need to tell you is.. this sauce is good…but several people told me.. the chicken turned out not that crispy.. I’m going to test more and get better recipe for batter later. What I can recommend you is.. use ice water for batter.. see if it helps a little.. Thanks !!!
omg! i totally made this! but i forgotten to cook the sauce! LOL i ate it raw
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.
Hi, Heng Jovi
Oops ~~~ oh… I can make same mistakes… you could cook the chicken with sauce..if you forgot to cook the sauce.. I hope your raw sauce wasn’t that bad to eat. Thanks !!!
This dish surprised me a little. I generally don’t like sweeteners with meat, but I like this dish. It is a little sweet and spicy. The taste is not like any American flavor I tried before. It is worth making just to try a new flavor.
Hi, honey~~
Yep~~ sometimes, the taste can break your imagination about the food…once you try it !!! that way, its good to try new food sometimes… right ??
I’m gonna make this tonight! It looks so tasty!
Hi, James ^^
hehe.. wow will you ?? !!! I will wait for your picture then.. Enjoy !!!!
