Time 1h6m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
6 tablespoons honey
¼ cup cider vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ cup cornstarch
canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, salt, and 1 pinch pepper in a bowl with the chicken. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine honey, vinegar, brown sugar, gochujang, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, and 1 pinch black pepper in a pot over medium heat. Stir well; when bubbling, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Toss cornstarch with the chicken to coat evenly.
  • Fill a pan with 1 inch oil and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add chicken in small batches, making sure to not overcrowd the pan. Cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Reheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and deep fry chicken once more until deeply golden, about 40 seconds each. Transfer chicken to the pot of sauce.
  • Heat sauce and chicken over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup cornstarch (substitute unbleached all-purpose flour)
4 cups canola oil, for frying
2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped for garnish
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped for garnish
1/4 cup cooking rice wine (Shaoxing)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon gochujang (hot pepper paste)
1/4 cup honey (to taste)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place chicken pieces in a re-sealable plastic bag and pour buttermilk; stir to mix and refrigerate for 3 hours. Drain well and transfer chicken into a bowl. Add garlic, ginger, black pepper, and salt; marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a heavy bottom pan, pour about 1-inch oil and heat it up until it reaches 350ºF. Meantime, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine Shoaxing wine, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, gochujang, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and freshly ground black pepper; bring to a boil then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Meanwhile, transfer chicken onto a plate and sprinkle corn starch over chicken pieces coating well. Working in batches, drop chicken pieces one at a time and cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Using a spider strainer, remove chicken pieces and place on a wire rack (otherwise soggy) sitting on a baking sheet lined with paper towel.
  • Place fried chicken in sauce and quickly toss to coat well. DON'T let them sit too long otherwise they will get soggy and not crispy anymore. Serve them over a bed of rice and garnish with peanuts and green onions.
