Crispy Korean Fried Chicken Dumplings

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Korean Fried Chicken Dumplings.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a glass or ceramic bowl and mix together the rice wine, sesame oil, ginger paste, salt, and black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Once combined, add the cubed chicken and give it a good toss to ensure every piece is coated in that flavorful marinade.

3. Step 3

   Cover the bowl and let the chicken soak up those delicious flavors in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—this step is key for tender, tasty chicken.

4. Step 4

   While the chicken is marinating, pour some potato starch onto a plate.

5. Step 5

   Next, line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top; this will help drain the dumplings later.

6. Step 6

   Now, heat enough oil in a frying pan over medium heat to fully submerge the chicken pieces.

7. Step 7

   Once the oil is hot, take the marinated chicken out of the bowl and toss it in the potato starch until it’s well coated.

8. Step 8

   Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

9. Step 9

   As the chicken cooks, let’s prepare the dumplings! Take a wonton wrapper and place a small amount of the crispy fried chicken in the center.

10. Step 10

    Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg, then fold it over and press to seal.

11. Step 11

    Set aside and repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to pan-fry those dumplings! Heat more oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the dumplings in batches until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re perfectly crispy, transfer the cooked dumplings to the prepared baking sheet to drain any excess oil.

14. Step 14

    For a delightful dipping sauce, whisk together honey, gochujang, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic paste, and soy sauce in a bowl until smooth.

15. Step 15

    Serve your hot, crispy dumplings alongside the sauce for a deliciously satisfying treat that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite!.
