Ingredients
▶ 2 pounds of chicken wings or drumsticks (or a combination of both)
▶ ½ cup all-purpose flour
▶ ½ cup cornstarch
▶ 1 teaspoon salt
▶ 1 teaspoon black pepper
▶ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
▶ 1 teaspoon paprika
A pinch of humor (to add that extra flavor!)
For the Sauce
▶ ½ cup ketchup
▶ ¼ cup soy sauce
▶ 2 tablespoons honey
▶ 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
▶ 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
▶ 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
▶ 1 teaspoon grated ginger
A sprinkle of wit (to spice things up!)
Step 1: Crispy Chicken Goodness
Get ready to unleash the crunch factor! In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Give it a good mix, just like a DJ spinning some tunes. Now, coat each piece of chicken in this glorious flour mixture, ensuring they're fully dressed in flavor and ready to hit the pan.
Step 2: Sizzle and Fry
It's time to let the magic happen in a hot pan. Heat up some oil (about an inch deep) in a skillet or deep-fryer—enough to make those chicken pieces sizzle with excitement. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let them fry until they reach golden perfection, flipping them occasionally for even browning. Trust me, the crispy exterior is going to be a game-changer!
Step 3: Sauce Time, Baby!
While the chicken is getting its crispy groove on, let's whip up a mouthwatering sauce that will take it to the next level. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, soy sauce, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir it all together with a flair, like a conductor leading an orchestra. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, allowing the flavors to meld into a symphony of deliciousness.
Step 4: Glaze it Up!
Now comes the moment of truth—time to glaze those crispy chicken pieces with the flavorful sauce. You can either toss the chicken in the sauce or use a basting brush to generously coat each piece. Let the sauce seep into every nook and cranny, ensuring maximum flavor penetration. Oh, the aroma in your kitchen right now is absolutely mouthwatering!
Step 5: Serve and Savor
Get ready to indulge in a crispy, saucy delight! Serve your seasoned chicken on a platter, garnish it with a sprinkle of wit, and watch it disappear faster than you can say "flavor explosion." Grab a piece, take a bite, and savor the succulent chicken, the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Don't forget to have some napkins ready because this chicken is finger-licking good!
