Cooking instructions

Cooking Mode turns the method into large, slide-by-slide instructions with timers, read-aloud, screen-awake and optional voice controls.

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Trim the chicken thighs and cut into bite-size pieces. Mix the gochujang, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and chilli flakes in a bowl to make the yang-nyum sauce. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry, then add it to the flour mixture. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated, pressing the coating onto the chicken. Shake off any loose excess.

  3. 3

    Fry the chicken

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp, golden and cooked through. Transfer to kitchen paper to drain.

  4. 4

    Simmer the sauce

    Carefully pour off the frying oil and wipe the pan, leaving only a light coating. Add the prepared yang-nyum sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until glossy and slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Coat the chicken

    Return the fried chicken to the pan. Toss thoroughly in the hot sauce until every piece is evenly coated and sticky. Cook for a further 1–2 minutes so the glaze clings to the chicken.

  6. 6

    Finish & serve

    Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving plate. Scatter over the sesame seeds and sliced spring onion. Serve immediately while crisp and hot, with steamed rice or a fresh crunchy salad if desired.

Allergens and dietary notes

GlutenSoySesame

For this recipe: Contains gluten from the flour and soy sauce, soy from the soy sauce and gochujang, and sesame from the sesame seeds. Check gochujang, ketchup and other packaged sauces for additional allergens.

Useful substitutions

Boneless chicken thigh is widely available from Big C, Lotus’s and Makro. If gochujang is unavailable, use a mild Korean-style chilli paste or a mixture of chilli sauce and a little miso. Korean chilli flakes can be replaced with standard chilli flakes, reduced to taste. Cornflour may be used as the main crisp coating, and palm sugar can replace honey if preferred.

Storage and reheating⌄

Storage

Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Reheating

Reheat in an oven or air fryer until piping hot throughout. The coating will soften in a microwave, so dry heat gives the best result. Reheat only once.
