Roscoe's Korean fried chicken is coated in a thin batter, dredged, and then fried twice, and served with a spicy ginger, garlic, and gochujang sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 wingettes or drummette chicken wings
- 6 chickens legs
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 2 tablespoons garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
-
1
Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. In a large bowl toss chicken wings, chicken legs, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, and water together. Mix well.
-
2
In another bowl combine flour, potato starch, cornstarch, and EverCrisp in a large mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients until fully mixed. Season with salt and pepper.
-
3
Add 1 cup of flour mixture to the bowl with chicken. Mix into chicken and water to make a very thin batter.
-
4
Add chicken to the flour bowl and toss and press until completely dredged in mixture. Place on the prepared wire rack until ready to fry.
-
5
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a second rimmed baking sheet with paper towels, and place a clean wire rack on top.
-
6
Add chicken pieces to the hot oil about 5 pieces at a time so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to the rack over the paper towel-lined baking sheet tray. Continue with remaining chicken pieces.
-
7
Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until continuously boiling. Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken and fry again until cooked through and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the second batch of chicken pieces.
-
8
Transfer chicken to a medium-sized serving bowl. Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, gochujang paste, vinegar, and 1/2 cup water. Cook and stir continuously until sugar has melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce over twice-fried chicken pieces, garnish with sesame seed and peanuts, and serve.

Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame
I adapted this protein-packed spicy vegan quinoa with edamame recipe from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying, and relatively high in plant-based protein.
Japanese-Style Meatloaf
I adapted this from a korokke recipe I frequently use. Korokke is a Japanese fried croquette made with seasoned ground meat and mashed potato. I combined the seasoning used there with a standard meatloaf recipe to create this fun hybrid. I serve it with mashed potatoes and a spicy barbeque sauce.
