So I searched around the net and found a relatively easy recipe from James Strange:
I asked my husband to cook for us since he's better at it than me. One of the ingredients listed is mirin, which is a form of Japanese rice wine, but has less alcohol than sake (definition from Wiktionary). Since we couldn't find it here, hubby substituted it with apple cider vinegar; we followed everything else in the video. Also, we used Kikkoman soy sauce.
Here's the finished product:

So, how was the chicken? I'd have to say that the homemade version is a lot better in taste, and although our chicken wasn't as crispy (even though we deep fried them twice), the meat was definitely more tender and juicier than Bon Chon's. I love our family's version and we make a batch of this at least once a month.
Try it, and let me know what you think! :D
How lucky to have a hubby who cooks for you especially when you're tired and the last thing you want to do is to cook! Homemade is always better. :) I should try this recipe. Have you also tried Chosun Chicken? I am in love with their Gochu chicken!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. My husband loves cooking and he's one of the few people who inspired me to learn how to cook. :) And yes, I have tried Chosun Chicken once, as recommended by Fred. :)
