One of my favourite Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) recipes is the 파닭 Padak Fried Chicken loaded with crispy pieces of chicken, green onions and a zippy garlic dressing. This Double-Fry Padak Korean Fried Chicken Burger is hands down the best cult favourite Asian burger recipe! Unlike the American fried chicken comfort food, traditional Korean fried chicken does not use buttermilk marinade!

  7. Add oil to a deep fryer or frying pot and heat up to 350F. Test the internal temperature with a digital food thermometer. You can also test if the oil is ready by placing the back of a wooden spoon into the pot. If you see bubbles, then your oil is ready.

Notes

If you use regular mayo and not Kewpie, I recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten the spicy mayo up!

Highly recommend the investment of a digital food thermometer. It is inexpensive and leaves the guessing game out.
