Mini Fried Chicken

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. :D

Chicken Ingredients:

  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cooking Wine
  • 3 Pinches Salt
  • 2 Pinches Black Pepper
  • Some Oil for frying

  • 1 Tbsp Corn Starch for covering
  • 1 Egg White
  • 4 Tbsp Corn Starch

I just wanna know if I can replace
th corn starch with the corn flour…It would be a big difference? (Well, besides that I still missing some ingredients: cooking wine; sesame oil) :(

    hi ioanna,
    what is corn flour ?? you mean corn meal?? if it’s what you are asking.. I will say.. don’t use that.. how about just normal flour instead of corn starch if you don’t want.. or don’t have.. that will be better to use ^^ you can skip cooking wine and sesame oil too.. thanks

    hi coolod,
    You mean.. you don’t want to do deep frying ??? then.. what will you do ? just fry in a pan.. or bake ?? yes.. You can do that if you want.. the sauce taste will be same.. just you will not get the fried flour flavor.. thank you very much for your comment..

I love love this fried chicken. Everyone was quiet eating it and then attacked it for seconds. I made it a second time without hot pepper paste, onions, and sesame seeds because my friend was missing those ingredients but it turned out good still. It’s definitely the best with those ingredients but without them it was still good. Tasted similar to sweet and sour chicken.
