Korean Fried Jumbo Chicken Wings

Published by

If you’re in London, you have to try pop-up Izakaya ‘Beer & Buns’. Their jumbo fried chicken wings are served in 3 flavours and are seriously unctuous and morish – my fave is  Tebasaki Soy Garlic and is what gave me the inspiration for this recipe. Hot, juicy, tender chicken, with a proper crunchy KFC batter and a rich sauce that’s spiked with chilli and crammed with garlic and sticks to everything it gets in contact with (making it the worst first date food in history). I just had to bring this flavour into my own kitchen. I’ve never made proper fried chicken before so took inspiration from one of my favourite bloggers Helen Graves’ PKFC (Peckham Korean Fried Chicken) recipe.

Beer & Buns

I just had to write a little post of thanks to pop-up bar/restaurant ‘Beer & Buns’ for providing a well needed mid-week drink (actually, it was only Tuesday) and the best pork ‘Hirata’ buns i’ve eaten in London! What’s on the menu: Very simple, buns and wings What to choose: BUNS- chicken buns are their ‘Signature’ but go for the pork; the bread is soft and pillowy, with sticky pork belly and rich red, saucy cabbage. Prepare to dribble. WINGS- Korean Hot do exactly what they say on the tin but they are so damn moreish – a deep heady heat and flecked with toasty sesame (thank gawd for a big glass of ice cold Asahi to relieve a numb tongue). Where: Find it ‘Upstairs’ @ K10, Liverpool St for the near future! Tip: Visit on Tuesdays for  2-4-1 on all food! http://www.beerandbuns.co.uk/
