Fried chicken is a beloved street food in South Korea, known for its blistered, crispy coating and sticky sweet sauce with varying spice levels, from mild to super-hot. Also known as ‘candied chicken’ due to the sweetness of the glaze, Korean fried chicken has become incredibly popular in recent years and can be found all over the world. This recipe substitutes whole wings for juicy chicken thighs, made more tender with a short brining stage that keeps the chicken moist once shallow fried. The syrupy sauce is packed with spice and goes perfectly alongside a cold beer – just make sure you have napkins at the ready!
