Lainey's Korean Fried Chicken






Lainey's Korean Fried Chicken:

Ingredients:

  • ï‚· 1 kg chicken thighs, washed, cleaned, and chopped into 3 cm pieces

  • ï‚· 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

  • ï‚· 2 tbsp grated ginger

  • ï‚· 2 tbsp soy sauce (light preferred)

  • ï‚· 2 eggs, beaten

  • ï‚· 1 cup corn starch or potato starch

  • ï‚· Oil for frying (canola oil or vegetable oil)

  • ï‚· 3 tbsp mayonnaise

  • ï‚· 1 tbsp Lainey’s Chilli Oil

Method:

1. Begin by preparing the chicken thighs. Wash and clean them thoroughly, then

cut them into 3 cm pieces. Pat dry with paper towels and place them in a large

bowl.

2. Add rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, and soy sauce to the bowl with the

chicken. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is well

coated. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate. For deeper flavour, marinate

overnight if possible.

3. After marinating, drain any excess sauce from the chicken. Then, add the

beaten eggs to the bowl and toss the chicken until evenly coated.

4. Lightly coat each piece of chicken with corn starch or potato starch, ensuring

they are fully covered.

5. Heat oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium to high heat. Once the oil

is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until they are golden brown

and cooked through.

6. As the chicken finishes frying, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to

absorb any excess oil.

Dipping Sauce and Serving Suggestions:

 In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise with Lainey’s chilli oil, stirring well to

combine.

ï‚· Plate the fried chicken and serve alongside a fresh coleslaw. Dip the chicken

pieces into the delicious Lainey’s chilli oil dipping sauce and enjoy the

flavourful Korean-inspired dish!
