Hi Maangchi, I can’t wait to try this recipe. Potato starch is really hard to find here. Can I use corn starch or tapioca starch instead of potato starch?
I love you and your recipe so much.
Cornstarch will work well, too.
I made this last night and oh my was it delishious thank you for all the great recipes Ive loved them all
Made this last night! Was so good and I had a lot of fun making it. Definitely want to try it with the pumpkin seeds next time. Love your recipes Maangchi!

Alycia, you had fun making this! : ) It looks sweet and crunchy! Cheers!
망치 안녕하세요!! i made this for dinner tonight (finally) and it’s absolutely crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and super delicious. maangchi’s double-fry technique is truly daebak! thank you for your recipe, we truly enjoyed it!

yes, it looks daebak (huge success)! : ) Congratulations!
Hi Maangchi!
I checked out your other Fried Chicken recipe they only use potato starch to coat the chicken. For this recipe you add all purpose flour and also egg, is it because you looking for different crispy texture?
Can’t wait to try the recipe~ :)
yes, I wanted to make this chicken batter a little fluffy without losing crunchiness. I hope you like this chicken, too. : )
Hi Maangchi! Finally made the chicken for dinner, I forgot to take the picture because me and my wife are already so hungry.
I don’t have all purpose flour so I use combination of potato starch & premix frying flour, the chicken came out fluffy and crispy :) but the highlight of the chicken is the honey butter sauce! It’s taste so goooood, especially with steamed rice. Thank you Maangchi! :D
Made this tonight…was really good! Think that time should be adjusted for chunks of chicken, though, as it was a bit dry after the frying time was done per the recipe.

Hi Maangchi! Is there much difference using this batter (egg, flour, potato starch) instead of just potato starch like your other chicken recipe?
I make something similar but add gochujang to the sauce. I love sweet and spicy wings.
I’ve just cooked it, It is just wonderful and crunchie!!! I’m a big fun of you and your recipes. It is not so easy to find Korean products in my town but I manege.

I made this for dinner last night using chunks of boneless chicken breasts. My boyfriend gobbled it up! It was so delicious! Served it with white rice and some kimchi on the side. The crunchiness made my mouth so happy :)
Congratulations! As long as you knew how to make your chicken crunchy crunchy, the result will be awesome!
Hi Maangchi, I tried this recipe today. Wow debbak….I love the taste of the chicken even before I put the sauce on. But for the sauce I put more soya sauce as it too sweet. Thanks for the recipe, you’re the best.
Thank you for this recipe. I look forward to trying it soon. I need to purchase a cleaver first to “chop-chop” the chicken like you do. ;) We like spicy … what can we add for the spicy? Love your recipes!

-Thank you so much for sharing all of this good stuff with us! :)
Yes, you can use cornstarch instead of potato starch. good luck!
Hi maangchi, I am a huge fan of your korean recipes.
I was thinking of what to have for dinner, and as soon as I saw the recipe for honey butter fried chicken, I just had to try it.
