Deep Fried Korean Style

The NY Times has an amusing piece on the wonders of Korean-style fried chicken and just what makes it different and tasty.  I only wonder at the idea of a “Karoke and fried chicken lounge”.

    “In Korea, chickens are much smaller, so the whole chicken is fried and served, hacked up into bite-size pieces. But the large breasts and thighs of American chickens are a challenge to cook evenly.”

    /Do the Americans like the sweet moo as well?

    Korean chicken is tastier and more tender than the hormonally enhanced chicken we get back home.

    Thanks for the link to the article. It gives a good description of the ’science’ behind the recipe.

    The secret is the moo. It’s just too greasy without it. At Roy Rogers I substitute it with pickles. At KFC, I just go with the cole slaw.

    Instead of salt and pepper, I prefer ketchup mixed with tabasco sauce.

    how do you eat your chicken?

    It takes a tough nation to fry a tender chicken.
