Method
Chicken Marinade
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Breading and Frying
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.

Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the fridge. Dip each piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornstarch mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess breading.

Fry the Chicken
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
Sandwich Assembly

Assemble the Sandwich
To assemble, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a fried chicken piece on top, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Drizzle with Korean hot sauce, then top with the other half of the bun.
