How to make crispy Korean chicken nuggets, Dak-gangjeong
This
particular Korean chicken appetizer is called Dak ganjeong (닭강정). It is crispy and
slightly spicy Korean chicken nuggets. Yes, they are deep-fried. That makes
this chicken so tasty and irresistible. As long as you don't eat them by the
bucketfull, a few pieces will calm your craving and won't hurt you so badly. As
you can tell, they are tiny pieces.
I
used chicken breast for this recipe. You can use boneless skinless chicken
thigh if you prefer moister texture, or use both. Most people dice their
chicken breast into bite-size pieces before coating with batter, but I like to
slice and chop them into small pieces before mixing. That will help the chicken
breast not be too dry once deep fried, and you will like the chewy
texture.
Ingredients:
2
medium size boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3
tablespoon corn starch
1
tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
Oil
for frying
a
handful of roasted chopped peanuts or any nuts of your choice
For the sauce:
1
tablespoon vegetable oil
2
garlic cloves, finely minced
2
tablespoon Korean chili paste (gochujang)
1
tablespoon ketchup
1/2
tablespoon mayonnaise
3
tablespoon honey
Instructions:
Slice
the chicken breasts very thinly, then cut into small pieces. Place the chicken
pieces in a mixing bowl, and add the corn starch, flour, ginger, salt, and rice
wine. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
To
make the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the
garlic and cook until fragrant. Do not burn the garlic. Add the rest of the
sauce ingredients to the skillet, mix well. Bring the sauce to boil and let it
thicken, for about 1 minute. Set aside.
Heat
oil for frying in a deep skillet or wok. The temperature should be around
160-170˚C. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoonful of chicken
batter to hot oil. Fry them until they are lightly golden. Take them out to a
plate lined with a piece of paper towel. After you finished frying the entire
batch of the chicken batter, you need to repeat the frying again so that you
can deep-fry the chicken twice. This will help chicken to be very crisp.
Return
the chicken into the reserved sauce in the skillet, and add some chopped
peanuts as well. Toss them to coat evenly.
Garnish
with more peanuts on top. Serve warm or at a room temperature. Enjoy!
