Korean Fried Chicken Vs. American Fried Chicken

There are many fried chicken recipes, but these two are my favorite. Let’s see if one is better than the other.

As a Korean American, I totally agree with Josh. when my body calls for grease, I go for Popeyes. When my stress level is high, Yangyum chicken gives me enough kick in my brain. And Fried chicken is not a meal in Korea, it’s rather a snack (afternoon/ happy hour/ midnight).

I am a little disappointed Josh didn't try putting the Korean chicken's sauce on the American chicken's base! He could have created either the best chicken, or an absolute abomination, and either way, I was here for it!

Actually, just like the guest guy said, a lot of Koreans have been indecisive on which style should they eat, thus creation of half- half menu (half fried, half yangnyeom)

My boyfriend loves KFC and we’ve just discovered that I’m actually a decent cook. So I’m definitely going to try making the southern fried ones some time soon. We don’t have an Asian market near, which is sad because the Korean ones would have been my preference. Bf will like what ever I feed him lol, it’s so cute to see him enjoy food I’ve put love and care into. It warms my heart

Pro tip: For the Korean version, you'll want the sauce to be hot when you dress the chicken. Heat it up if it's cold but do not cook the garlic. The almost raw garlic is what gives it that taste.

I’m half Korean and Korean food is still my go to for comfort and celebration food. That being said I’ve never had Korean fried chicken. I lost my mom at 9 so Maangchi helped me recreate many of the recipes of my childhood. This makes me really want to try it.

I’m surprised a billionaire hasn’t snatched him up as their personal chef lol… if I had near infinite amounts of money I’d totally pay this guy to make me awesome foods all the time.

I'm glad Josh points out the important fact that food is a preference and can vary from time to time. Right now I want both of them.

I like watching Josh cook while I eat my microwave meals

I agree that it depends on what you want at the moment. I like to think that USA, Korea, and Phillipines are the top places for fried chicken. Japanese Karaage and Taiwanese fried chicken are no slouches either. They're all just as good.

There’s a restaurant here in SD that serves both southern style and korean fried chicken. I always go with a friend and force them to get the opposite of what I order so we can share. They’re both great and I love them equally.

Actually in korea, there is a “Bahn-Bahn Chicken” which means “Half-and-Half Chicken”. And it comes with “Yangneom chicken” and “Southern style fried chicken” in same equal amount. As Josh mentioned, it is the most famous fried chicken menu in korea lol.

This comparison is like asking a child, who is your favorite parent, your mom or your dad? So the conclusion totally makes sense here.

4:00 ' is this enough for your Karen? ' Absolutely excellent!!! Korean style is always seriously agressive with Garlic, you nailed it .

Korean or American, I LOVE fried chicken. One of my favorite foods next to pho (which I followed your video for that, and it's *chef's kiss*. Congrats on 6 million subscribers, Josh!

Fried chicken with gochujang sauce and fired chicken without it has been a topic of debate for decades in South Korea. However, the debate ended with the invention of banban chicken (halfhalf chicken), in which only half was seasoned and half was left crispy.

As a GF individual, I'm looking forward to trying that Korean recipe 😊

[DavidNPinto]

I just have to say that your team deserves more recognition on the amazing recording, edition, etc., they do on each video 👏🏼

Totally agree with *Pápa* with the amount it feels like you can eat. whenever i order Korean fried chicken, i feel like i could down 10 wings in one sitting, but with the American style, 2-3 pieces is good enough (depending on size)
