Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sesame oil has a low smoke point, so always start heating the pan before adding the oil and cook the chicken slowly over medium-low heat to avoid burning.
  • Sikhye adds a delicate sweetness and a hint of malt aroma, which helps balance the richness of the chicken.
  • If green peppers are unavailable, substitute with about 10 whole cloves of garlic. For extra spice, add sliced green chili peppers.
  • After braising, stir-fry rice in the remaining sauce for a delicious and satisfying side dish.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to enjoy a fresh, unique homemade savory-sweet chicken dish instead of their usual takeout fried chicken.
  • Anyone seeking a main side dish with tender texture and deep umami flavor that the whole family can enjoy together.
