Fried Korean-style Chicken with Limes

Fried Korean-style Chicken with Limes

Ingredients

  • 500 grams chicken tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain yoghurt
  • ½ cup cornflour
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground chilli
  • ½ cup Korean barbecue-style sauce (available in supermarkets)
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh coriander, to serve (optional)
Zesty lime balances out the salty fried joy of this delicious snack
  1. Cut the chicken into even bite-sized strips and marinate in the buttermilk or yoghurt for at least two hours or overnight.
  2. Toss the cornflour, celery salt, garlic powder, paprika, ginger and chilli together. Dip each marinated chicken strip into the seasoned cornflour then fry in oil until golden and cooked through – do this in batches to achieve a good crunchy crust.
  3. Transfer to a roasting dish or similar and drizzle over the sauce, then cook in a pre-heated oven at 185°C for 5-8 minutes until caramelised and sticky. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
  4. Tips: Try this with chicken nibbles or mini drums. You can add ¼ cup panko crumbs to the cornflour for more of a crumb texture if desired. You can substitute Korean sauce for teriyaki or smoky barbecue sauce.
