This recipe pays homage to the iconic Korean fried chicken—crispy, flavorful, and utterly addictive. As a devoted fan of Korean food, I couldn’t resist creating my own Filipino-inspired twist. Imagine golden, crunch-coated chicken glazed with a sweet-spicy sauce, balanced by savory garlic notes, and just a hint of tangy calamansi. Every bite is a perfect contrast of textures and flavors, guaranteed to make you reach for another serving… and another bowl of steaming rice!

This pinoy version recipe brings a new delicious flavor to your crispy chicken cravings, with a burst of unique flavors in every bite.

Cut chicken breast into bite-size pieces. Put it in a large bowl and season with salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly, then crack an egg and mix it altogether. Marinate and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, chicken powder, salt, paprika powder and ground black pepper. This is our breading mixture.
Coat the marinated chicken meat in the breading mixture until all is consumed.
Preheat cooking oil in a pan. Deep fry the coated marinated chicken until it turns golden brown. Set flame to low-medium heat. Tips: For more crispness, you can double fry it. When it’s cooked, remove it from the frying pan and set it aside.
In another pan, set a fire over low-medium heat. Melt the butter, then sauté minced garlic and add ketchup. Stir to mix it. Next, add soy sauce, hot chili sauce, a pinch of pepper powder and a pinch of salt to taste. Mix until sauce becomes slightly thick.
Add deep fried chicken previously set aside to the sauce. Mix it well until it is coated with the sauce. Add sesame seeds and continue mixing.
