This dish is not only delicious but also brings a vibrant twist to the classic fried chicken. The perfect balance of spicy and savory makes it a standout meal. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this mouth-watering dish:

1 lb chicken tenders
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 cup cold water
Oil for frying

For the Spicy Gochujang Sauce:

¼ cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1-2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Add cold water gradually until you reach a smooth batter consistency.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F).
Dip each chicken tender into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the chicken in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all the Gochujang sauce ingredients, stirring until smoothly combined.
Once the chicken is cooked and drained, drizzle the spicy sauce over the tenders or toss them in the sauce for even coverage.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
