Korean fried chicken wings are crazy delicious
This is the kind of stuff I dream about. Korean fried chicken wings are so crispy they are loud when you bite into them. Loud. That’s music to my ears. These wings are way better than most restaurants make. This is what would happen if good restaurants served Korean chicken wings. The coating is ultra-crispy. The chicken super tender. The sauce sweet and salty and spicy. I actually surprised myself the first time I made them. I’m going way out there on this one. I know. But they are that good. Crazy good. And the beautiful thing about these Korean fried chicken wings is they are pre-cooked before they ever hit the deep fryer. No worrying that they are done. How? Sous-vide. That’s how.
