In honor of Asian Heritage Month we’re featuring KFC. No, silly! Not that KFC, it’s Korean Fried Chicken, brought to you via Omsom—a company founded by two Vietnamese sisters who bring authentic Asian flavors to your kitchen with delicious, convenient sauce packets. Here you’ll double-fry (or air-fry) marinated, batter-dipped chicken, then coat the extra-crisp morsels in a buttery, spicy Korean bulgogi sauce. Serve your fried chicken with fragrant rice, a tangy quick-pickled cabbage-scallion slaw, peppery radishes, and garlic mayo for a flavor-packed celebration that’s oh-Seoul-good!

Instructions

Cook Rice
1

• Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, half the garlic powder, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep & Marinate Chicken
2

• Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate ginger until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings). Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Trim and thinly slice radishes into rounds. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips, then halve strips crosswise. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with half the Omsom Korean Spicy Bulgogi Marinade until coated. Set aside to marinate, at least 10 minutes.

Pickle & Mix
3

• In a second medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cabbage, vinegar, scallion whites, ginger, and 1½ tsp sugar (3 tsp for 4 servings). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until cabbage is warmed through, 45-60 seconds. Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Coat Chicken
4

• In a large, microwave-safe bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and pepper. • Working one piece at a time, press marinated chicken into flour mixture and toss until coated in a thick layer. Set aside on a plate.

Fry Chicken
5

• Heat ⅓-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour mixture sizzles, add chicken in a single layer (you may need to work in batches for 4 servings). Cook until chicken begins to brown, 2-3 minutes (lower heat if chicken browns too quickly). Flip and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and rest for 2-3 minutes (you’ll finish cooking the chicken in the next step). Remove pan from heat (do not discard oil!). • Discard flour mixture; wash and dry bowl.

Double-Fry & Finish Chicken
6

• Return pan with oil to medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour mixture sizzles (we pinched it right from the coated chicken!), return fried chicken to pan in a single layer. Cook 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook until deeply browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Discard used paper towels; line plate with a new layer. Return chicken to paper-towel-lined plate. • Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in bowl used for flour. Microwave until melted, 20-30 seconds, then whisk in remaining Omsom Korean Spicy Bulgogi Marinade. • Add fried chicken to bowl. Toss to coat.

Assemble & Serve
7

• Fluff rice with a fork. Transfer rice to a serving bowl. • Place lettuce on a platter along with rice, spicy fried chicken, pickled cabbage, and radishes. Sprinkle scallion greens over spicy fried chicken and pickled cabbage. Serve garlic mayo on the side for dipping or drizzling. Serve family style.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
