Korean Chicken Loaded Fries
Korean flavors are taking over! The sweet and spicy chicken compliments the loaded French fries that is topped with a crunchy slaw. Life doesn’t get any better than this!
Seriously! Korean BBQ chicken is my new favorite! I could drink that sauce and not even feel bad! lol! I have seen a recipe for Hot Nashville chicken fries and I was going to attempt to make them because the Super Bowl is right around the corner, but I thought, wouldn’t it be better with Korean BBQ chicken instead? The answer is, HECK YES!!
Can you imagine taking this to your Super Bowl party? People will kiss your feet and want to be your friend after tasting this scrumptious dish. There is some assembly required but all the steps are eazy peazy. If you don’t want to share, just make it for yourself and enjoy a moment pure joy!

Instructions
- For the fried chicken: Whisk together the buttermilk, salt, pepper and garlic together and pour the mixture into a gallon Ziploc bag with the chicken. Marinate for 2-8 hours.
- In a shallow pan, add the flour, rice flour, cornstarch, ginger, garlic and salt. Mix the ingredients together well. After the chicken is done marinating, transfer the chicken pieces to the flour, allowing any excess buttermilk to drain off. Coat all the chicken pieces in flour really well. Let sit, for 5 minutes, so the chicken pieces can absorb the flour mixture.
- Prepare the slaw: Combine all the ingredients, cover, and chill until ready to use. Can be made 1 day in advance.
- For the sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a nonstick skillet and simmer until thickened slightly to the consistency of a glaze. Set aside.
- Heat at least 2-3" of canola oil in a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 360 degrees F. Gently lower 2 pieces of chicken into the oil and fry for about 7 minutes, flipping once, until deeply golden brown and a probe thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Transfer chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat with the other chicken pieces. While the chicken is still warm, drizzle or brush the sauce liberally all over the chicken. Cut the chicken into pieces.
- Fries: Cook the fries in the same pan as you cooked the chicken, and then place on a plate that is covered in paper towels for a few minutes, so it can soak up the grease. Meanwhile, take off the lid to the cheese and microwave on high for a minute, so it's easy to pour the cheese.
- To assemble: Lay fries on a serving tray. Drizzle the cheese generously all over the fries. Top with chicken and the slaw.. Finish it off with slivered green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
