I’m fascinated by the unique texture of Korean fried chicken! How would you describe it? Is it more on the crunchy side or does it have a different kind of bite? Let's talk textures!

Korean fried chicken is known for its amazing texture! It’s typically super crunchy on the outside, thanks to a special double frying method that makes the skin extra crispy. Inside, the meat is juicy and tender, giving you a delightful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft, flavorful chicken. Plus, it’s often coated in a delicious sauce that adds another layer of texture, making each bite a tasty experience!

Unlike some traditional fried chicken that feels heavy, Korean fried chicken tends to have a lighter texture. Based on what my Korean friend told me, the batter of the chicken puffs up during frying, and that's what gives it an airy, delicate crust.
