About Korean chicken

Korean chicken is a popular dish rooted in Korean cuisine, celebrated for its bold flavors and crispy texture. Typically, it consists of chicken pieces coated in a light batter and double-fried to achieve a perfectly crispy exterior while maintaining juicy tenderness inside. The chicken is usually tossed in a flavorful sauce, which can range from sweet and spicy to savory and garlicky, often incorporating ingredients like gochujang (Korean chili paste), soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and honey. While the double-frying process can elevate calorie and fat content due to oil absorption, Korean chicken can also be a source of protein essential for muscle function. Homemade or baked versions can reduce unhealthy oils and allow control over sodium levels, which are often high due to the sauces. Served with fresh vegetables or steamed rice, it can be enjoyed as a balanced meal with mindful preparation.
