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.

Wasabi Shrimp Sushi Cups
These wasabi shrimp sushi cups are perfect for you if rolling sushi is not in your wheelhouse. Certainly filling a muffin cup is! Prepare sushi rice according to the package instructions, but do not fluff—the success of this dish depends on very sticky rice. Use a silicone muffin pan, if you have one. While the rice cooks, prepare the filling ingredients.
Bettie's Lasagna Roll Ups
This is a good freeze and eat later meal. It uses tofu, but you'd never know it! My cooking co-op loved this recipe! You can individually freeze the roll ups on a cookie sheet and place in a freezer bag.
Gracie's Amazing Vegetarian Burritos
These are quick and easy to make, as well as incredibly tasty and filling. One of my husband's very favorite dishes, he always stuffs himself with one too many! Serve with grape tomatoes, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, sour cream, and fresh guacamole. You can use any wrap instead of the flour tortillas, if desired.
