Method
- 1 Marinate the chicken wings with coarse salt, garlic powder, and half a crushed peppercorn for 1 hour.
- 2 This version is seasoned dry with pepper and salt, not dipped in sweet sauce, so the crust stays crispy longer.
- 3 Pat dry thoroughly, then coat with a very thin layer of cornstarch.
- 4 Fry in oil at 160 degrees for 9 minutes until the meat is cooked through to the bone, then remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
- 5 Fry again at 195 degrees for 2 minutes until the crust is crispy and the skin shrinks.
- 6 Mix immediately with the remaining pepper, gochugaru, and roasted sesame seeds, then squeeze in some lemon juice.
