Ingredients for Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Sliders

Method

Directions for Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Sliders

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with buttermilk. Ensure all chicken is submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise until smooth. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade and let excess drip off. Dredge each piece first in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.

  6. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place coated chicken in hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

  7. 7

    Drain and Sauce

    Once fried, remove chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, toss the chicken in the gochujang sauce until evenly coated.

  8. 8

    Assemble Sliders

    Spread remaining mayonnaise on the bottom half of each slider bun. Add a piece of spicy fried chicken, a few pickled cucumbers, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Top with sliced green onions and place the bun top on.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve sliders warm with extra pickled cucumbers and gochujang sauce on the side.
