This Korean fried chicken nuggets recipe is perfect for sharing with a group, and is paired with an unforgettable yet simple spicy soy garlic sauce. 

 

Marinated with Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce and Pure Sesame Oil to infuse with deep aromatic flavors, the best part of these chicken nuggets has to be the sauce you coat everything in. A sweet and spicy blend of Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce, and honey give these nuggets a rich, glossy finish packed with plenty of flavor.

It's easy to scale up as well: This version will make a pound of chicken nuggets to serve 4, but you can easy make an extra-large batch for a gameday party, potluck, or just to get ahead on meal prep for the week!

  2. Batter the Chicken: Add the flour, cornstarch, and egg to the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack.
