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.

Fry until they become golden brown like this.

I can just the delicious fried chicken without sauce. hehe

Cook the sauce on medium heat. 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.







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
Can i make this not fried? If I make this unfried, do i still have to cover with cornstarch? by the way, I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE!!!!! You are really awesome aeri! Your recipes are so much better than other korean recipe sites. It tastes like my mom’s food!
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..
is it crunchy like those korean chicken shops (bons, kyochon, bbq chicken)?
love those chicken. =]
hi ellle,
well.. not that crunchy like them.
but the taste is good.. hehe thanks
u fried iot once
hi pita,
sorry.. what do you mean ???
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.
hi Samantha,
oops.. I didn’t reply to this comment.. @,@ I missed it.. anyway.. thanks for your comment. yes.. I agree.. it tastes similar to sweet and sour chicken.. ^^
