How to make K-Fried Chicken: The Remix
Preparing the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Add the egg (skip this step if you are out of eggs).
Add the cornstarch and wheat flour to the chicken and mix well. It might take an extra tsp of flour if you haven't added the egg. Ensure to drain out all the water from the chicken before adding the seasoning and starch.
Deep fry the chicken in oil on medium flame until golden brown. Do not fry until it turns dark brown as it won't be soft anymore. Set aside.
Preparing the Sauce
Add 2 whole tomatoes into boiling water and wait until the skin shrinks or the tomato is cooked completely.
Remove from the heat, peel the skin, and add it to a food processor/blender along with chili powder. Grind until a smooth paste.
In a pan, heat cooking oil and add minced garlic. Sauté garlic until aromatic on medium to low flame.
Add the tomato paste and salt. Stir until the paste thickens slightly.
Add the honey, give a final stir, and add the fried chicken.
Tips & Tricks
