Pretty good fried chicken at Kitok in Waco (a very, very small Korean ethnic community) for several decades holding forth in modest quarters in a less than salubrious location.
Homemade kimchi (Napa cabbage and green onion), killer chicken soup, several Korean entrees, and the locally applauded "Lip Locker" double burger, along with burgers with kim chi or a fried egg. Home of "Oriental Fries", onions, carrots, parsely, potatoes, cabbage cut into thin strips, breaded and deep fried, served with a soy-garlic dipping sauce, a step up from everyday frites.

I had Korean fried chicken for the first time today at a newish place down in Santa Clara. I found it to be pretty much identical to the standard American style fried chicken. Should I be ordering this differently or is there some subtle nuance I am missing?

The place I go to, which is very Korean (every time I have gone almost everyone but is there is Korean) has what is very, very good fried chicken. Close to, but not exactly like good Southern fried chicken.

I had fried chicken in Korea twice at small roadside joints, and it was nothing special at all. Very dry in fact. And no sauce offered. Hong Kong was better, but still miles behind even US KFC.

The good places are way better than KFC. Very moist, with light batter and fried super crisp.

I was fretting for you using that little fork!Nice videos with great sound.
Have you tried this using mochi flour instead of cornstarch?
