“Yangnyeom” (양념 치킨) Korean Spicy Fried Chicken

Korean Fried Chicken is a delicious dish that’s great for satisfying hunger or snacking while watching a game with friends. What makes Korean fried chicken unique is the second frying that makes the skin crispier. There are many sauces that accompany the chicken.
