What do you eat Korean fried chicken with?

Pickled radish and pickled cucumbers are popular side dishes to serve with Korean fried chicken.

What makes Korean fried chicken so crispy?

It’s either purely just potato starch or mostly potato starch mixed with a bit of wheat flour. In addition to this, Korean fried chicken is fried twice. The first at a lower heat to cook the chicken, the second at higher heat for a shorter time to crisp up the chicken. 

What makes Korean fried chicken different?

Korean-style fried chicken is radically different, reflecting an Asian frying technique that renders out the fat in the skin, transforming it into a thin, crackly, and almost transparent crust.
