Chicken Marinade

Fried Chicken Coating

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, gochugaru, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Prepare the Chicken Coating

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Make Batter

    Gradually add cold water to the dry mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.

Fry the Chicken

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  2. 6

    Batter Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  3. 7

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

  4. 8

    Drain Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the fried chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 9

    Prepare Buns

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each brioche bun.

  2. 10

    Add Chicken

    Place a piece of fried chicken on top of the mayonnaise on each bun.

  3. 11

    Add Toppings

    Top the chicken with shredded cabbage, pickles, and chopped green onions.

  4. 12

    Complete Sandwich

    Cover with the top half of the bun to complete the sandwich.
