Korean Pupu Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Thoroughly blend all Sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Pour into 8 X 8 inch or similar sized dish.
• Set aside.
• Prepare serving dish by placing a piece of paper towel in bottom.
• Flour chicken, coating thoroughly.
• If chicken gets moist, flour again before frying.
• Fry in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, turning as necessary.
• Remove from oil with tongs, allowing some excess to quickly drip back into pan.
• Place chicken directly into the prepared sauce. Let soak for 3-5 minutes, turning every couple minutes until chicken has been thoroughly saturated.
• Remove from sauce, again with tongs, letting some of the excess sauce drip back into dish.
• Place on paper towel lined dish.

Steps:

• Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
• Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
• Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients, except the chicken, in a mixing bowl. Place the chicken thighs in the marinade and marinate for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. After 2 hours, stir the marinade.
• Heat the grill until the coals are gray to white. Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain or shake off the excess marinade. Place on a lightly oiled grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked in the center. Remove the "pupu chicken" to a serving plate and insert wooden picks in each of the cubes. Serve immediately as an appetizer.
