Gochu Jang KFC (Korean Fried Chicken)

Gochu Jang KFC (Korean Fried Chicken)

The key to this finger licking KFC is our Gochu Jang and frying technique. 

The sauce gives a spicy, sweet, and sticky flavor and by frying twice, it gives extra crispy texture.  It pairs perfect with beer and is a great snack while watching the game.
