The Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich

Oh boy, this Korean Fried Chicken sandwich with Gochujang, spicy coleslaw and Asian-inspired cucumber salad is a party in your mouth!

First off, the fried chicken thighs are super succulent and double fried to crispy goodness. Then, it’s slathered in a spicy sauce featuring Gochujang that provides an appropriate amount of zap and tang. It’s got a little heat, a little sweet, and a whole lot of yum.

But there’s more! This sandwich also has a creamy and tangy coleslaw that adds a nice bit of crunch. And don’t forget the cucumber salad, which acts as a refreshing palate cleanser between bites of the chicken, adding a lot of freshness.

And if that’s not enough, there’s also a bed of fresh lettuce to add a little green to the mix. It’s like a complete meal in sandwich form, and it’s freaking delicious.

So if you’re feeling adventurous and want to try something new, give this Korean Fried Chicken Sensation a shot. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.

Instructions

In a bowl, place your potato/corn starch.
Dredge the chicken thighs in the starch mixture and set aside.
For the cucumber salad, slice your cucumber thinly or into thick diagonal chunks if you’d prefer. You can remove the centre with a teaspoon if you’d prefer but it’s not necessary.
Place the cucumber into a bowl with 1 Tbsp of rice wine vinegar, 1 Tsp caster suger and pinch of salt. Then place in fridge for up to 30 mins.
Meanwhile, mix 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, small knob of ginger (finely chopped), 2 garlic cloves, 1 large red chilli (halved, de-seeded and finely sliced), 2 spring onions (finely sliced) in a bowl.
After up to 30 mins, drain the cucumber and add to the bowl.
For the coleslaw finely slice 1/2 white cabbage, 2 spring onions.
Add the cabbage, spring onions and 1 Tsp minced garlic and 1 Tsp minced ginger into a bowl.
Mix together with 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
For the Gochujang sauce add 1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup, 1 Tbsp gochujang sauce, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil to a saucepan then set aside.
Time to fry the chicken. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a deep saucepan (enough to cover most of chicken) and cook for 3 to 5 mins on each side (depending on size of the chicken thigh).
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan! Cook the thighs 1 to 2 at a time for safety.
Remove the done chicken and place onto kitchen paper while frying the rest of the pieces.
Then deep fry your chicken a second time for 2 to 3 mins until the batter is a nice golden colour. Then set aside.
Once all pieces of chicken are fried, place your gochujang sauce on a low heat to warm it up.
Once it begins to bubble, remove the pan from the heat and add the chicken and your sauce to a big mixing bowl. Toss the chicken in the sauce.
Now you can construct your Sensation! We started with lettuce, then coleslaw, cucumber then the chicken – but you can layer it however you want!
Time to tuck into your tasty creation. Keep a napkin near as this one’s gonna’ get messy!
