Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Korean Chicken Seasoning, divided
- 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 2 Limes, juiced
- 2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 2 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Fill a deep fryer with vegetable or canola oil and heat to 325 degrees F. Alternately, fill a deep pan about halfway with oil and heat to 325 degrees F.

- Mix flour, 1/4 cup Korean Fried Chicken Seasoning, and fine sea salt.
- Combine 1/4 cup Korean Fried Chicken Seasoning, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, water, and honey and cook to combine over medium-low heat.
- Coat the chicken in Korean Fried Chicken flour mixture and shake off excess. Place on a cooling rack or baking sheet. Let the chicken sit for about 5 minutes to give the seasoned flour a chance to adhere to the meat.
