For extra crispy skin, ensure the chicken is completely dry before dredging in potato starch. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preference for spiciness. A little honey can be added to the sauce for extra sweetness. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) to ensure it's fully cooked.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Set a rack on a foil-lined baking sheet.
02
StepPour oil into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Clip a candy thermometer to the side. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
03
StepIn a large bowl, toss chicken, ginger, and salt until evenly coated. Spread 1/2 cup potato starch in a shallow dish; dredge chicken to coat completely and evenly. Add remaining 1/2 cup potato starch as needed. Shake off excess and transfer to a plate.
04
StepCarefully add chicken to the skillet in batches; fry until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn chicken over and fry until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to the rack on the prepared baking sheet. Reheat oil between batches to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
05
StepReturn chicken to the skillet in batches and fry again, about 2 minutes per side.
06
StepIn a large bowl, stir together gochujang, oyster sauce, mirin, ketchup, fish sauce, and garlic. Add cooked chicken and toss to coat. Sprinkle with white and black sesame seeds.
