Recipe 🍳
- 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.
- Submerge the prepared 1.5kg chicken thighs completely in the batter and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- 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.
- Thoroughly coat the marinated chicken thighs with the powder twice, then lightly pinch the surface with your fingers to create a wavy texture.
- Place the chicken thighs in preheated frying oil and fry for about 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- 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.
- Strain the reduced sauce through a fine sieve to remove solids, reserving only the liquid.
- 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.
- Add the freshly fried chicken to the sauce and toss evenly until lightly coated.
- Marinate chicken thighs in the curry milk batter for 1 hour, then coat with starch powder and create wavy texture.
- Fry in oil for 10 minutes until golden and crispy to make fried chicken.
- 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.
