Korean-Style Saucy Chicken recipe (with chicken nuggets)
What is Korean-style Saucy Chicken?
Korean-style saucy chicken is a delicious dish known for its crispy texture and bold sweet & spicy flavor. Unlike regular fried chicken, it’s coated in a thick, flavorful sauce made with ingredients like gochujang (Korean chili paste), garlic, soy sauce, and honey.
However, making it from scratch takes time and requires deep frying, which isn’t always convenient at home. That’s why we’re sharing an easy shortcut—using chicken nuggets! With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy the taste of Korean-style saucy chicken in minutes.Ready to try it? Let’s get cooking! 🍗🔥

Got questions?
Q1. How can this sauce be enjoyed?
TAIGER: This sauce pairs perfectly with chicken nuggets, chicken breast, or any fried chicken dish. The sweet and spicy flavors of the sauce complement the crispy texture of fried chicken, enhancing its taste and making it even more satisfying. Simply dipping your chicken into the sauce can elevate the flavor of the dish.
JERRY: This sauce isn’t limited to chicken dishes—it also works well with fried shrimp or French fries. The combination of crispy fried foods and the tangy, sweet, and spicy sauce makes it an excellent choice for snacks or party dishes.
Q2. Can I prepare and store the sauce in advance?
TAIGER: Yes, you can prepare this chicken sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for easy use whenever needed. Since it complements not only chicken but also other dishes, having it ready makes it a versatile addition to your meals.
JUNG: However, we recommend consuming the sauce within 7 days to ensure its freshness. To keep it safe and delicious, store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This way, you can enjoy it at its best quality.
Q3. Do I need to stir-fry the sauce and chicken together?
TAIGER: If you’re short on time, simply pouring the sauce over the fried chicken and tossing it is quick and delicious. This method is convenient and easy for busy days.
HARRY: However, stir-frying the chicken with the sauce in a pan enhances the flavor. The sauce becomes thicker and more concentrated, coating the chicken beautifully with a glossy finish. This results in a richer, more flavorful dish. Just make sure to stir-fry over low heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
