Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare Gochujang Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix gochujang and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Scallion Salad

    Thinly slice scallions and cucumbers. In a bowl, mix with white vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge the marinated chicken thighs in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread gochujang mayo on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a fried chicken thigh on each, top with scallion salad, and cover with the other half of the bun. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top.
