Ingredients

12 mixed chicken flats and legs
6 chicken legs
2 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp grated garlic
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
1 cup water

Directions

1

Prepare a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, and water well.

2

In another bowl, combine flour, potato starch, cornstarch, and EverCrisp. Whisk until mixed, then season with salt and pepper.

3

Add 1 cup of flour mixture to the chicken bowl, stirring to make a thin batter.

4

Add the chicken into the flour bowl, dredge, and press until thoroughly coated. Place on the wire rack until ready to fry.

5

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a second rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and a clean wire rack.

6

Fry chicken pieces, 5 at a time, for 6 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack over the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

7

Increase oil temperature to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken back into the hot oil and fry for 5 more minutes until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, repeat with second batch.

8

Assemble chicken on a medium-sized serving bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, gochujang paste, vinegar, and 0.5 cup water. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is smooth (about 5 minutes). Drizzle the sauce over chicken pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds and peanuts before serving.
