KFC Bao Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Coat the Chicken

After marinating, coat each piece of chicken in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

3

Fry the Chicken

In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Prepare the Bao Buns

Steam the bao buns according to package instructions or until soft and fluffy.

5

Assemble the Bao

In each bao bun, place a piece of fried chicken, top with pickled daikon, pickled carrots, a drizzle of kewpie mayonnaise, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
