Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • Chicken thighs 1.5kg
  • Milk 1L
  • Fried chicken mix 500g
  • Spicy curry powder 3 tbsp
  • Gochugaru (Korean chili powder) 2 tbsp
  • Potato starch 150g

  • Oranges 2
  • Cheongyang chili pepper 1
  • Minced garlic 1/2 tbsp
  • Soy sauce 2 tbsp
  • Honey 2 tbsp
  • Sugar 2 tbsp
  • Cooking oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix 1L milk, 200g fried chicken mix, 2 tbsp spicy curry powder, and 2 tbsp gochugaru to make a smooth batter for marinating the chicken.
  2. Submerge the prepared 1.5kg chicken thighs completely in the batter and marinate for at least 1 hour.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix 300g fried chicken mix, 150g potato starch, 1 tbsp curry powder, 1/2 tbsp seasoned salt, and a pinch of pepper to create the outer coating powder.
  4. Thoroughly coat the marinated chicken thighs with the powder twice, then lightly pinch the surface with your fingers to create a wavy texture.
  5. Place the chicken thighs in preheated frying oil and fry for about 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  6. In a pan, add 1 cup water, 1 sliced orange, 1 Cheongyang chili pepper, 1/2 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp sugar, and simmer until reduced.
  7. Strain the reduced sauce through a fine sieve to remove solids, reserving only the liquid.
  8. Immediately squeeze the juice of the remaining orange into the strained sauce, and adjust sweetness and tartness by adding more honey or juice to taste.
  9. Add the freshly fried chicken to the sauce and toss evenly until lightly coated.
  1. Marinate chicken thighs in the curry milk batter for 1 hour, then coat with starch powder and create wavy texture.
  2. Fry in oil for 10 minutes until golden and crispy to make fried chicken.
  3. Toss the fried chicken quickly in the special sauce made by simmering orange, soy sauce, and honey.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When coating the chicken thighs with the powder, be sure to pinch firmly to ensure a crispy texture after frying.
  • Freshly squeeze the orange juice for the sauce to maximize the natural, refreshing flavor without artificial taste.
  • Do not simmer the sauce too long as it may become salty; turn off the heat while it's still slightly runny and toss the chicken.
