Baek Jong-won's Chili Garlic Chicken

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Fine bone fragments often get embedded in the meat during the cutting process, so it's important to thoroughly wash the chicken by rubbing it with your hands during the cleaning stage to avoid any unpleasant texture.
• If the frying oil temperature is too high, the outside can burn black before the inside is cooked. Therefore, maintain a moderate temperature and fry for at least 8 minutes to ensure it's perfectly cooked through to the bone.
• If you boil the Cheongyang chili peppers and garlic together in the sauce, their unique pungent aroma and crisp texture will be lost. Therefore, be sure to add them after boiling the sauce and mixing them with the residual heat after turning off or reducing the heat to preserve their flavor.
• When frying rice cakes (tteok) with chicken at home, the expansion of moisture inside the rice cakes can cause severe oil splattering, posing a risk of serious burns. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to avoid frying rice cakes if possible.
