What is Korean Fried Chicken?
Korean fried chicken, usually called chikin (์นํจ, from
the English "chicken") in Korea, refers to a variety of fried chicken
dishes created in South Korea, including the basic huraideu-chicken
(ํ๋ผ์ด๋ ์นํจ, from the English "fried chicken") and spicy yangnyeom
chicken (์๋
์นํจ, "seasoned chicken")In South Korea, fried chicken is
consumed as a meal, an appetizer, anju (food that is served and
eaten with drinks), or as an after-meal snack.
Korean fried chicken was described by Julia Moskin of The New York Times
as a
"thin, crackly and almost transparent crust".
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. After frying, the chicken is usually hand-painted with
sauce using a brush in order to evenly coat the chicken with a thin
layer. Pickled radishes and beer (or carbonated drink) are often served
with Korean fried chicken.
