Korean-Chinese sweet-spicy crispy chicken

Kkanpunggi is a classic of Korean-Chinese cuisine: double-fried chicken in a glossy, sweet-spicy sauce with lots of garlic and dried chilies.

Extra crisp outside, juicy inside, it is served with peppers and spring onions - more intense and spicier than the milder yangnyeom.
