Yangyeom Tongdak/Korean Spicy Fried Chiken

Korean fried chicken or KFC,[1][2][3] usually called chikin (치킨, from English “chicken”) in Korea, refers to a variety of fried chicken dishes from South Korea, including the basic huraideu chikin (후라이드 치킨, from English “fried chicken”) and spicy yangnyeom chikin (양념 치킨, “seasoned chicken”).[4] In South Korea, fried chicken is consumed as a meal, appetizer, anju (food served and eaten with drinks), or as an after-meal snack.[5]

Korean fried chicken differs from typical American fried chicken because it is fried twice, so the skin is crunchier and less greasy. Furthermore, Korean-style chicken is not characterized by the crags and crusty nubs associated with American fried chicken, but is described by Julia Moskin of The New York Times as a “thin, crackly and almost transparent crust”.[5] The chicken is usually seasoned with spices, sugar, and salt, prior to and after being fried. Korean fried chicken restaurants commonly use small- or medium-sized chickens; these younger chickens result in more tender meat. Afterwards, the chicken is usually hand painted with a brush to evenly coat the chicken with a thin layer of sauce. Pickled radishes, beer, and soju are often served with Korean fried chicken.
