1

Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, combine 500g of chicken thigh pieces with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean chili paste), 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum flavor).

2

Prepare the coating

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. This flavorful coating will give your chicken that crispy texture we all love.

3

Coat and fry the chicken

Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet for frying. Take each marinated chicken piece, shake off any excess marinade, and coat it well in the prepared flour mixture. Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4

Assemble the tacos

Now it's time to build those tacos! Warm up some taco shells or tortillas in a pan or microwave. Fill each shell with a generous amount of the crispy Korean fried chicken. Top it off with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of your favorite Korean-style sauce, like spicy mayo or sriracha. Feel free to add other toppings like pickled radish or kimchi for that extra flavor punch.
