I signed up to effectively say two things. One, is that this recipe is actually rather good in regards to a simple Sweet and Sour gojujang-based sauce. The method of cooking the chicken can be swapped out, and indeed it can be mixed with yoghurt and create an excellent marinade for BBQ.
The second is to comment on the original poster’s comment regard the only two places to get great fried chicken — the US South and Korean. What an utterly naive, rude and unbelievably typical, clichéd American comment. I’d like to point out that fried chicken is an almost global phenomenon and was being mastered long before the USA even existed. For those interested, try Japanese tempura chicken, or pretty much any Chinese fried chicken dishes for alternate Asian flavours. For Europe, try German schnitzel (or Israeli which is also amazing) - effectively breadcrumbed chicken fried in butter, or again a host of Italian fried chicken dishes available online. Pollo Frito from the Dominican Republic and other South American countries with their own twist, Kerala-style fried chicken is a great place to start with India’s vast cuisine. And so on and so on. Just don’t be mislead by the above tragically misinformed comment, regardless of how genuinely great this particular Korean-fusion recipe is.
