Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 lbs chicken drumettes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cooking tips:
- For extra crispy chicken, let the coated drumettes rest for 10-15 minutes before frying.
- Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature and maintain it at 350-375°F.
- To make the sauce spicier, add more gochujang or red pepper flakes.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, gochujang, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
3. Dip each chicken drumette in the buttermilk mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the chicken drumettes in batches for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining buttermilk mixture over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. Toss the fried chicken drumettes in the sauce until coated.
