Craving Korean-style fried chicken, it's delicious on its own or served with rice as a side dish. It's also great with tteokbokki if you like.

Steps

1 hour

1

Cut the chicken fillet to your liking; I cut it into 3/4-inch cubes for popcorn style. Don't cut too small, as they will shrink when fried.
2

Marinate with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge.
3

While waiting for the chicken to marinate, prepare the sauce ingredients. Mix everything together. Set aside.
4

Pour the lightly beaten egg over the marinated chicken.
5

Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
6

Fry the chicken until golden brown. Remove and drain the oil.
*The oil should be hot first, then lower the heat before adding the chicken.
7

In another pan, sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant with a little oil.
8

Pour the prepared sauce from step 3 and a little butter.
9

Add the fried chicken. Sprinkle with roasted white sesame seeds. Mix well.
10

Serve on a plate, and top the chicken with sliced green onions.
