Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
2
Add the chicken thighs to the batter and mix until they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the gochujang sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
4
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Remove the chicken from the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Fry the chicken in batches until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
5
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Brush the chicken with the gochujang sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
