Follow The Directions

01

Step
15 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together milk and egg until smooth. Add chicken tenders and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

In a separate bowl, combine flour, potato starch, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large, resealable plastic bag. Drain the marinade from the chicken, add the chicken to the bag, seal, and shake until fully coated.

03

Step
1 mins

Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

04

Step
2 mins

Fry the chicken in batches of about 5 pieces for 2 minutes each, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer and drop the oil temperature. Transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

05

Step
2 mins

Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the chicken again for about 2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place the fried chicken into a medium-sized serving bowl.

06

Step
5 mins

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang paste, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.

07

Step
1 mins

Drizzle the gochujang sauce over the twice-fried chicken tenders. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavor!

For an extra crispy crust, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your preference.
Serve with a side of pickled radish or kimchi for a truly authentic Korean experience.
