Wow, wow, wow, wow.... seriously this is so good! It's not quite like being in Korea and trying it.... but it's a bit cheaper travel wise! Here's the recipe steps if you want to give it a go! Good luck and let me know how you get on barrylewis.net/recipe/korean-fried-chicken/
Do you throw your oil away when you have used it once or do you "clean" it and use it again ?
If you save it how do you get it to be so clean ?
Try Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk next time. It's been proven to be even better. 💋
@@jonmagnusson6399 use a sieve and a coffeefilter or a kitchen towel and reuse the oil. You can actually use it several times.
Would there be any way to do something similar to this, but with an air fryer? Not sure how the chicken coating would work?!
@@78teili Doesnt it preserve the taste from previous uses ?
Oh btw, Koreans usually use starch instead of flour. that way you get that SUPER crunch
corn starch, also known as cornflour in the UK and Ireland
GREAT TIP. TY
Potato starch for batter, always use potato over corn if you can. Corn starch only stays crispy for half an hourish and cannot handle sauces no matter what you do, potato starch will stay crispy pretty much forever. Its what chinese takeaways use for crispy beef & chicken dishes. Another pro tip, the reason you use starch over flour is because starch won't burn so you can leave it in the fryer for longer, in takeaways they add a small amount of Birds Instant Custard powder to the batter, this gives it a nice yellow colour so it looks cooked and not really pale.
Im korean, no never heard of using starch for chicken, you have right ways? Mostly use flour
@@user-xu8fy8xi4c The recipe I learned from Maangchi uses AP flour, glutinous rice flour, and potato starch, plus eggs. She mixes it all together into a thick batter to coat the chicken. Works remarkably well.
"I don't mind almost setting my house on fire with a toaster but when it comes to frying" 😂😂😂😂😂
I've heard that double frying is good for Korean Fried Chicken. Fry the chicken once at a slightly lower temperature until it's cooked through then fry it again at a high temperature right before you serve it.
I think it's a similar type of thing when making chips. The first stage is like blanching. The second fry makes it super crispy.
Korean Fried Chicken is my favorite. Served with sticky rice is perfect. I often cut the chicken in smaller pieces and serve them as appetizers. They are ALWAYS a hit. I don’t always add the hot pepper sauce and it’s still awesome.
Yayyyyy!!🙌
If that’s too hot for the girls, add some ketchup.
And it’s all about the sauce so you can serve it with ANYTHING like fried tofu or fried mushroom. 😊
Huge love from Korea xx🇰🇷💓
Thanks for this! I'm certainly trying to make this vegan with tofu and a honey substitute 👍🏽
I hope he shows how to make brinkle one day haha. The money I would save if I didn't spend it in bhc
@@JamesAColemanFan shhhh don’t let the world know brinkle 🤫 haha
Should have added corn or potato starch to the flour and double fried it for the truly crispy stuff...
yeah, that was my first thought too. Nowhere near as crispy as it would of been if he had used a corn/potato starch with maybe a little flour. And a double fry would of really got it super crispy.
@@nowhereusa have
Right? The one I learned from watching Maangchi used AP flour, potato starch, and glutinous rice flour, with a proper double fry. Delicious stuff.
Gojujang keeps for a really long time. You can make a really tasty dipping sauce with mayo (I like kewpie mayo), gojujang, and sesame oil. I dip fries, chicken nuggest, roast potatoes, etc in that sauce.
The bibigo brand is really good, I love my pot of gochujang.
I'm glad where I am in the US we have many different import stores. It's not hard to get any of these ingredients. I love our immigrants.
"whether you own a bus"
I actually do! Thank you for acknowledging me, Barry
If you try Maangchi’s recipe you’ll learn a couple of more tricks. It’s a huge favorite.
For the next korean recipe check Maangchi's channel, she's a pro in korean cuisine
"Dang I've got to get ready for work.....oh wait, Barry Lewis vid, welp I'm going to be late."
Thanks Brian :)
I used to hate frying when I did it on the stove. What you need, Barry, is a countertop electric deep fryer or fry daddy. Most models have a lid and are cool to the touch on the outside. It makes the whole process so much easier and safer, but the down side is you'll want to fry stuff all the time. 😅😉
"Chloe is actually insane" lol
Barry just said it right in this video and at the end everyone can hear her "Bye"...
and I really love the fact, that she's not shy in front of the camera! It is everytime nice to see her cook with you, because you both are insanely fun to watch you both! 😁
I love both the girls but I knew that Chloe was of my people! 🤪🤪🤪
Chip off the old block then :D
I straight up ordered mine from Amazon as soon as I finished watching the video! It's 6am, my husband works nights, and my chicken/buttermilk business just went into the fridge. Happy thoughts people!!!
As someone who is dedicating their life to studying all facets of Korean History and Culture, including food, this is awesome to see. Hope Barry tries more Korean recipies :)
KFC. Now that's what you call some serious Seoul food. Cheers, Barry!
It’s nothing like soul food if you have ever had it dummy
@@CricketEngland I've had soul food. I made a pun, by using Seoul.
@@dwaynewladyka577 dont know why you bothered
@@CricketEngland Korean Fried Chicken is found in Seoul, Korea, so.....
@@dwaynewladyka577 yea and..... it was t funny the. And it any any funnier now
Do you not have any local Asian stores around you? We found the gochujang immediately in the ones around us.
They have it in Asda and Sainsburys as well
He wouldn't think to go in somewhere like that.
@@rocktzar If that's true, that's too bad. Best place to buy rice for proper Japanese or Korean rice cookers, frozen gyoza and sauce, noodles, and so much more.
@@rocktzar shame if this is true and he’s concerned about authenticity!!
Pro-tip, if you're looking for buttermilk, check in the Polish section, you can often get more for cheaper.
So glad Korean Fried Chicken is starting to get the respect it deserves.
I remember the first time I tried it, I thought I had died and gone to chicken heaven.
I've travelled all over this planet and Korean Fried Chicken is the best chicken I've ever tasted.
Mate, love your cooking and of course your other antics too! Just a tip, if you want the vegan version of this it is called Dubu-jorim or Spicy braised tofu. It is literally the same just with tofu instead of chicken. You should give it a go, it will blow your mind.
Your oil comment was so accurate, I find it so intimidating!
i made korean fried chicken this weekend too for the first time, strangely! the coating was very different yours, and super tasty i think traditionally they marinade in vinegar and coated in potato and/or corn flour instead of wheat flour (great for me as i'm GF)
Barry! Get yourself to an asian supermarket or order from one of the many online ones! You'll find every asian ingredient you could ever want.
Great video, Barry!! Loving all the helpful comments in the comment section. Really hope you do a “Round 2” and incorporate some of the suggestions (potato starch flour, double fry, etc) and would love to see you and your family’s reaction to the difference!! 🤩
Milk and an acid like lemon juice, vinegar etc can be used as a replacement for buttermilk
There's a Korean chicken shop where I live. Kim's Frired Chicken or as he cheekily calls it, "the other KFC". It's amazing stuff, nothing else like it.
I've got that exact tub (the one you got from Amazon) in my fridge about half full. Guess what I'm making this weekend.
"Merry Crisp-ness" lol love it. Barry's girls enjoying the chicken feast, while Barry amuses himself in front of shot haha. That chicken looked seriously yummy!
One of the nice things about Covid: Homeoffice with a cup of coffee and a new Barry Lewis Vid in the morning. Don't tell my boss ;)
Ah, Korean food!! Still a bit unknown but some veeery good dishes and tastes!!
we have made a couple of times recently and cook in wok in a small amount of oil. still works really well. it’s is definitely one of the best chicken dishes ever
The final result looks so dangerously delicious! :D
Fried chicken is what I live for, taste so good when I eat with the Delta Parole music on blast the fried chicken is love fried chicken is life.
Barry: *gets wrap master 3000 out of cupboard and proceeds to smack elbow on oven door handle*
Barry: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
family friendly channel 😉
i love seeing chloe,,she is an adorable , funny kid..mom is so calm..barry you are a riot ..love your videos,,,,
I literally just bought this paste in Asda the other day the one in the tub I had it’s on pork with maple syrup, rice vinegar and sesame oil poured over the top absolutely amazing 😻
Love doing chicken wings in my air fryer. If I can find the paste, I may have to make this sauce for them.
Check your local Asian Market if you have one very easy to find the paste there. Its a key ingredient in a lot of korean recipes
Omg!!!!! I watched the video yesterday and made it to night. AMAZING!!!!!!
So great to see UK influencers doing food videos🇬🇧❤️
"My girls all 3 of them" barry ur so cute. They r bless to have u. BTW loving the lil dance n noises after u tasted it made me chuckle. Xoxo
I had the exact same reaction when I made this recipe a long time ago. Its the best chicken hands down and I make it as often as I can. Glad you finally tried it!
I'm surprised that Chloe wasn't complaining about the heat level. They say if a food is too spicy- add some sweetness to tone it down. YUM
A really nice thing to do with the paste is make a Gochujang mayo using kewpie mayo, makes a really rich tasty spicy mayo. The place I used to work at did a spicy beef that went on top of poke bowls. They would thinly sliced beef and boil it for 30-40 seconds and then mix it with the spicy mayo while still hot.
If you double fry the chicken it will stay crispier when you add the sauce 👍
Three things: first, Koreans usually fry their chicken twice (first time at a lower temperature to cook it through, second to make it CRUNCHY-CRUNCHY, as Maangchi puts it; refer to her fried chicken videos for more information). Second, they use potato starch instead of flour, and it comes out SUPER crunchy. Third, they make their sauce in a skillet or wok so that they can drop in the finished chicken and toss it good 'n' proper.
Asda sell genuine Gochujang, like the one you got from Amazon, not the Waitrose 'Gochujang Style' one, plus Chicken drumsticks & wings are much more flavourful in this dish.
Up there bazza! Much love from Australia mate.
Hey! Thanks a bunch!
Your pronunciation is pretty spot on. Gochujang at the end is pretty good brand too.
Starch not flour, and double fry!!! you will not be disappointed
Oddly enough I came across the big tub of paste a few months ago in Morrison’s! I was surprised they even had it.
I wish buttermilk was sold in yogurt style containers here in the States. Here, it’s in a carton or jug, and in far larger amounts than a person needs.
Barry Brilliant. missed your videos you do on your own. I have a family using your puns in the kitchen. you're responsible ... please keep doing videos every day. this one was stonking trying this for dinner tomorrow.
Also, there are several Asian markets in Bristol you could have found the gochujjang in, mate. And across the water in Cardiff. Just takes a bit of a drive, whether by car or by boat.
Everything!! with Gochujang!
I love Kimchi and Kimchi Jjigae, Kimchi Pancakes and stuff..
I also like Gochujang in different sauces, stirfry..
Wow, fantastic, which I could share my picture of how it turned out, made a double batch as you guys said it was so good, and guess what, it was. Thank you all the way from Cape Town
I think the gochujang paste you got from Amazon is more authentic than the one in the jar from the supermarket. You can use gochujang in many things like bibimbap, Korean BBQ, etc. I love it!
Barry!!! Add some gochujang to your bolognese sauce when you're cooking it, it adds so much depth honestly 10/10!♡
I don't even eat chicken (i'm vegetarian) but i love your videos, keep the korean recipes please, i love korean food. In my country it's very hard to get korean products but i found a shop, i saw that gochujang paste and i really want to make a vegetarian version of this. Maybe i'll do. Thank you for the inspiration Barry, keep up the good work!
Barry, you should try making Karaage, it's Japanese Fried Chicken (basically popcorn chicken) and it's SO GOOD
I make it almost weekly for my sister, roommate, and I. I serve it along side some steamed rice, it's easily my favorite fried chicken.
Sir this was phenomenal!! Thank you so much! Our family made this and loved every bite!
Wow wow wow wow Barry, tried your recipe and love it love it love .... thank you I now have a new family favourite.... served it with a simple egg fried rice and was amazing
I bet your sauce tasted great, but Maangchi's method on making the batter does the crispy pop without leavening. Something to try if you want a more authentic texture next time :) I tried to post the link here a ssecond ago but it got auto-moderated (which is fair). It's called dakgangjeong.
They sell that chilli paste in ASDA. been making this for for about 2 years now. Its a family favourite.
The ways I use my gochujang is in soybean paste stew and Korean-style slaw (or if you want to ferment it, you can make many styles of kimchi). I use it sparely because I don’t like things too hot. But I love Korean slaw in a taco with steak… 🤤🤤
I've got a perforated oven pan that I use to mimic frying just to try and live a little healthier and I might try this baked.
Got a Asian supermarket near me should be able to get the paste if it's not at my local, both in the same shopping complex so it's gonna be easy.
I made General Tso's chicken from scratch yesterday. Looks like we're staying on the Asian theme, lol. Looks AMAZING 😍😍😍
Listen, me and my girlfriend just finished making this. All I can say is, stop whatever you're doing and MAKE THIS.
Thanks Barry!
You can get the Korean Red pepper paste in sainsburys down the world food isle. It's the original Korean version and it's incredible. Expensive, but worth it. They sell kimchi down the same Isle too and black bean paste too.
It's just amazing! Making it the second time next week!
Maybe late to the party but me and the wife have just started watching your videos which are great BTW we watched this one as we follow another well known Korean food channel we would try this recipe and it was brilliant its now in my scrap book ❤
Ok soooo my daughter and I made this last night for my family. An also my boyfriend. They loved it. 😁 an i really don't like cooking. Lol it wasn't hard tho. So ty for the yummy recipe. We took pics but I don't know where to post them to tag you. 🤗
I have never seen the gochujang from the first one u bought in store. But the gochujang from the Amazon one is sooo familiar. Infact its the very same one that I got at home. Try making other korean street food too, its gonna be sooo awesome 😋
I am so the same with oil. I hate cooking with it but it makes everything so tasty!
I'm addicted to Koren Fried Chicken.
With the rest of your Gochujang that's coming look at Dalkgalbi which is one my fave all time dishes. It's a chicken stir-fry dish covered with cheese.
I wish I would've seen this before prepping dinner. Looks so delicious Barry!
I wouldn't consider this to be Korean fried chicken because of everything but one thing that went into it. Still looked yummy 😋
Barry you should check out the Korean Englishman channel for lots more yummy Korean food.
Exactly what I was thinking the whole time. Love those guys
I am definitely going to try this recipe, this sounds incredibly delicious.
Every time you say Paprica I remember you sound the pppppppp thing lol 😆 and I have really control myself whenever anyone says seal to not follow with biayay hahaha
Honestly, never seen it done with plain flour before. I've seen corn or potato starch before... I believe it gives it that light and crunchy texture. If anyone wants to find authentic recipes, you can just search yangnyeom chicken (양념치킨).
I so need this recipe today! love you guys!
Just get an electric fryer. They're relatively cheap and so much easier then a pot of oil on the hob. Just scoop out the burnt bits with a strainer when you're done, put the lid back on, let it cool and place the whole unit with oil back in a cupboard.
Just used my meal prep kit. It’s so good
I think I'm going to try making this for my husband, but I'm going to thicken the sauce with some corn starch.
Don't know why I'm so distracted by whats on top of the cupboards in the white bag on top of homer!!
I really want to try this but hate deep frying too. I might give it a go in the air fryer. I got my sauce from our local Chinese supermarket. It looks identical to the one you got off Amazon.
It's a good recipe for me as Korean. Thanks for a great video.
You can just say gochujang. Jang (장) means sauce/paste, so gochujang 고추장) sauce is like ATM machine. (Gochu (고추) means chili pepper.)
While this was a hit, I have to point out the traditional way to have it is with beer. There's even a word for it: chimaek (치맥 = CHIcken + MAEKju (beer) (치킨 + 맥주)). Also, now I want to see Barry try some less universally-loved Korean recipes like dakbal (닭발) and cheonggukjang jjigae (청국장찌개). If he doesn't like them, his reaction's likely to be pretty funny.
Oh and the Korean word for chicken is dak (닭) or dakgogi (닭고기) (the gogi part just means meat). And the tub of gochujang is how it's usually sold, that thick dark paste.
just a heads up you can get that paste from ASDA and its lovely in a chilli con canne
wow Barry, you're so close to 1 millions subs:)) also, this chicken looks amazing, I kinda wanna try it
You could’ve just ordered Gochujang from Amazon! 😜👍
I was typing this as you said it! 😂
I am literally sitting eating home made Korean fried chicken whilst watching this video and my mouth is on 🔥
I think cauliflower would be a good veggie alternative.
Would you soak it and dredge it, the same as the chicken? Cauliflower is one of my favourites.
My local ASDA has the gochujang paste that you got from Amazon
One last thing. Traditionally, Korean fried chicken is made with a batter of flour and eggs, rather than a wet-dry dredge. The one I learned uses a 2:1:1 mix of AP flour, glutinous rice flour, and potato starch, plus eggs (one of these days, I'm going to try it with duck eggs). And for extra crispness, you either double-fry it or fry and then bake for 20 minutes at 176ºC, then you sauce it.
Judge Dredge? Groan... Great recipe, Hubby is the cook in the family and I think he'll love this. :D
Loved your video, my wife is vegetarian. Your Korean Sauce is totally amazing on DeepFried Cauliflower!
Sainsbury’s Cardiff does the gotjugang stuff
It's really cool seeing you do some korean foods, would you try any other recipes?
You might have heard of korean fried chicken referred to as chimek which is chicken and beer (mekju) but without the beer its just chicken. There are a few 'loan words' coffee is 'keopi' for example.
Also, gochujang usually found with the world foods rather than the regular spices and pastes if anyone is looking for it.
That looks incredibly yummy 😋 Brb hunting gochujang in every supermarket near me
