Ingredients

Chicken marinade

1 kg chicken drumsticks
120 g plain flour
60 g cornflour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp course black pepper
½ tsp garlic granules
½ tsp onion granules
oil for deep frying

Sauce

90 ml Gochujang paste
60 ml honey
60 ml dark soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin (chinese rice wine)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish

sesame seeds
sliced spring onions

Instructions

Prepare the chicken, in a large bowl add all the marinade ingredients, except the oil into a bowl, add the chicken drumsticks and ensure they are fully coated in the flour mixture and leave for around 30 minutes.
Warm the oven as you can keep the fried chicken warm.
Heat the deep fat fryer to 180c, when ready shake each drumstick to remove any excess flour and fry the chicken drumsticks (I cook two at a time) for around 8-10mins until cooked for each batch,remove and drain on some kitchen paper. Place in a preheated oven to keep warm whilst you cook the remaining drumsticks.
Whilst the last of the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan add all the sauce ingredients and stir until well combined, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for around 5-10mins.
When all the chicken is cooked, place in a bowl, drizzle all the sauce over the chicken and toss until well coated.
Sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds and search hot.
