Homemade Bbq Sauce Fried Chicken in Seafood Batter Recipe

Korean Fried Chicken. Crunchy, juicy fried battered chicken. A delicious, indulgent way to have chicken. Perfect with some beer or a carbonated drink.

My Korean fried chicken recipe is easy to make and absolutely delicious! It does take some time but totally worth it! This way you can control what ingredients your using down to the type of oil.

Usually in Korean culture, as an indulgent treat, they will have some fried chicken with beer. They call this pairing of fried chicken and beer "Chimaek". Chikin, meaning 'fried chicken', and maekju, meaning 'beer'.

Moreover on this recipe, my batter is very simple and contains a secret ingredient that is often used in Korean fried chicken, which is curry powder! But to get the right consistency so that it's super crunchy you will have to try my Korean fried chicken batter.

To make the chicken extra crunchy and crispy, Korean use tapioca flour or potato starch due to it's light consistency. This flour will give you a thick but runny batter. You will see what I mean when you make the batter yourself.

This is probably the best Korean fried chicken I have ever made and I'm so excited to share my version of it with you!

For this recipe

You will need the following Korean fried chicken ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks
4 cups cooking oil (I use avocado oil)

Chicken marinade:
1 tbsp dry sherry or white wine
¼ tsp black pepper
1.5 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp garlic minced
½ tsp salt

Korean fried chicken batter:
2.5 cups tapioca flour
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tsp baking powder
1 ¼ cup water

How to make Korean Fried Chicken

In a large mixing bowl, mix together your marinade ingredients. Marinate your chicken for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another large mixing bowl, mix together your batter ingredients until you have a thick but running batter. The batter will settle and almost "solidify" but that is normal. You will just need to mix it again when you're ready to batter the chicken.

Once your chicken has marinated, add it to your batter and mix. You'll need some arm strength here to evenly coat the chicken.

Heat your cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Place a wooden chopstick in the oil to check if the oil is hot enough by looking for bubbles. Once you see bubbles form at the tip of the chopstick, your oil is hot enough.

Carefully place battered chicken into hot oil. The batter will run off the chicken a bit but that's normal. Do not overcrowd the pot or cover your pot with a lid.

Cook your drumsticks for 10 minutes on both sides (20 minutes in total), flipping around every now and then until golden crispy brown.

Transfer to wax paper and enjoy with your favourite dipping sauce!
