Since we are spending loads of time now at home due to lockdown, the one thing many of us have been doing is cooking! If you are looking for a new yummy recipe to try, this might be it. I never tried Korean fried chicken before to be honest but now, it might just become one of my favorites.

12 pack chicken braai pack
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 cup of Maizena corn flour

3 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
2 Tsp Chilli paste
¼ Cup honey

Method
- In a bowl mix Maizena, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces on the dry corn flour mix, remove place on a dish
- Add approx. 60ml water to remaining Maizena to make a batter
- In a deep saucepan add a generous amount of oil on a medium heat until the oil temperature reaches 175 C / 347 F.
- Dip floured chicken piece into the Maizena batter right before carefully placing in the oil, fry for 3-5 minutes in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
