Today, I will show you how to make a very popular Korean chicken dish, DakDoriTang. It is chicken and vegetables cooked with a spicy sauce to give it great flavor. Depending on your tastes, you can add or reduce the amount of red pepper powder and red pepper paste. My husband and I enjoyed this dish very much the other day. I hope you will like this too.

Video Instructions
Main Ingredients
- 1 Whole Chicken (4 LB)
- 2 Cups Onion
- 2 Cups Potato
- 1 Cup Carrot
- 3 Green Onions
- 1-2 Hot Peppers (Optional)
- 1½ Cups Water
For Chicken
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ⅛ tsp Black Pepper Powder
Sauce Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp Red Pepper Paste
- 3 Tbsp Red Pepper Powder
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- ½ Tbsp Cooking Wine (or Water)
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Pinch Black Pepper Powder
Directions
Cut the chicken into 2×2 inch pieces. Don’t remove the skin, fat, or bones because that gives it good flavor.
Marinate the chicken with 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, ¼ tsp of salt, and ⅛ tsp of black pepper powder for at least 10 minutes.
Combine 5 Tbsp of red pepper paste, 3 Tbsp of red pepper powder, 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, ½ Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of sugar, 1 Tbsp of corn syrup, 2 Tbsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of sesame seeds, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and 1 pinch of black pepper powder.
Mix the ingredients.
Cut 2 cups of onions, 2 cups of potatoes, 1 cup of carrots, 3 green onions, and 1 or 2 hot peppers into big chunk (1 or 1½ inch cubes).
Place the chicken in a big pan.
Add the potatoes, onions, and carrots on top of the chicken.
Pour the sauce on top.
Then pour 1½ cups of water on it.
While it is cooking, occasionally stir it so that all of the ingredients get covered with the sauce. Cook it for 30 to 35 minutes on high, or until the chicken and potatoes are completely cooked.
Reduce the temperature to low and add the green onions along with the hot peppers. Cook 2 more minutes and then turn off the heat. If you don’t want your food too spicy, skip the hot peppers.
Serve this dish with rice and other Korean side dishes. You can also pour some of this on top of rice for a main course in the same way as curry and rice. Enjoy this delicious Korean food.

hi Chi,
It sounds like you have very fun school project..hehe about your question.. dak galbi and dak dori tang are different.. here is link for dakgalbi from my blog..
http://aeriskitchen.com/2008/09/dak-galbi-korean-spicy-grilled-chicken/
and this page.. this recipe I called “dakbokkeum tang” is same with dak dori tang.. dak dori is more like Japanese word.. so it’s proper to call it dakbokkeum tang in Korean.. thanks
p.s Good luck for your school project.

Aeri,
Thank you so much for this recipe. It was delish! My husband really liked it and it wasn’t too spicy either.
hi Hlee,
thanks for trying my recipe.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
hehe.. You did a good job for this dish.
Hello Aeri! How are you? We share the same surname!
Actually, I am not Korean but my husband is! So, it has been great to find your recipes! They are so easy to follow and they taste great! I made the Kimchi Fried Rice as well as the Spicy Chicken Stew with Vegetables yesterday and guess what. They both tasted awesome! My husband rated them 11/10! 
I do have a question for the stew recipe: When I place the marinated chicken in the pan, do I also put the left-over marinate sauce (i.e. the 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, ¼ tsp of salt, and ⅛ tsp of black pepper powder) in the pan together or do I just discard it?
hi Lee,
enjoy..and hope to see you more often.
haha.. nice to meet you..yep.. we have same surname.. wow.. 11/10.. you must be a great cook.. I’m proud of you. yep.. everything goes to your pan.. no waste..hehe thanks

“Come to my house Friday and I will make you suffer.”
SuJin’s English has improved over the past three decades, but this is what she made for me on our second dinner date. Delicious and filling and got me to thinking about making our dinner dates routine.
Enjoy your children while you have them Aeri. He will be one of the smartest boys in his class, will go off to college and then to a career. We are in Europe, but our kids live and work in America and Asia. Many good meals like this though seal family bonds.
Hi, Bob
Thanks for your message.
I made this yesterday and it was so delicious : ) I used a little less chicken and added two blocks of firm tofu chopped into small blocks. The delicious sauce makes this a great dish to have over noodles/pasta too. Thanks for the recipe and video!

Hi, powerplantop
thanks !!!
Oh… then make it for her.. maybe we can watch your video with this recipe someday ?? hehe..
Aeri,
Got a question…I have seen this recipe on the internet before, and the recipe uses a slow cooker to cook this. Do you think that would be okay? Have you ever used a slow cooker for this meal or any other Korean recipe?
Hi, fredaj20
Thanks !!
We usually cook on the stove.. but there are some Korean food that needs to be cooked for a long time on low temperature. I think you can use slower cooker for this recipe too..
Nicely done. You have it so easy to follow. I will try it out today!
Hi, Jeff
hehe
I highly recommend you try this.
thanks !!!
WOW
This is looks really good! I’ve found that when using chicken in stews or, it is best to NOT to use bonelesss chicken. the bones in the chicken make the sauce more flavorful and the chicken keeps it shape alot better, rather than falling apart and disappearing into the stew.
*miss ya – it’s been a while. I’ll be in touch <3
Hi, farleen
I agree… the bones.. skin and fat give good flavor..
haha.. dsappearing into the stew.. funny
Bryson is kicking me a lot lately… We miss you.
