Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, soak the cleaned chicken in 2 cups of milk for 30 minutes. This step is a secret to removing any gamey odors and achieving a cleaner taste. After soaking, rinse the chicken gently under cold running water and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups of frying powder and 1.5 cups of water until smooth, creating a batter. Then, add the dried chicken to the batter and mix well, ensuring the coating covers the entire chicken evenly. A thorough coating is key for a crispy texture when fried.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil (enough to submerge the chicken) in a deep pan or pot to about 170-180°C (340-355°F). Carefully place the battered chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and let it drain for a moment. Then, let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before frying it a second time. This double-frying method ensures an extra crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious King Galbi sauce! In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of soy sauce, 1 cup of sugar, 2/3 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 Tbsp pepper, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, 2 Tbsp cooking oil, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, the minced onion (2/3 of an onion), 5 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1/2 cup of cola. Mix everything well to create the sauce. Pour this sauce into a heated pan over low heat and simmer for about 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as it can burn. Simmer until it thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency.
Step 5
Place the double-fried crispy chicken in a large bowl. Pour the prepared King Galbi sauce over the chicken and gently toss to coat evenly. Your delicious Suwon King Galbi Fried Chicken, worthy of a movie star, is now complete! Enjoy it warm for the best flavor experience.
