Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Whisk together milk and egg in a large bowl until well combined. Add chicken; stir to coat and allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Drain and discard egg mixture.
Step 2
Combine potato starch, flour, salt, pepper, and shichimi in a medium bowl. Pour into a large plastic resealable bag. Add chicken; seal the bag and shake until chicken is well coated.
Step 3
Heat 2 inches oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Working in batches of about 5 to 8 pieces at a time, cook chicken in hot oil for about 90 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate; keep each batch separate.
Step 4
Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be continuously boiling at this point. Carefully re-add the first batch of chicken and fry for another 90 seconds.
Step 5
Remove to another paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batches of chicken.
Step 6
Mix together mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, and gochujang in a large serving bowl until combined.
Step 7
Toss fried chicken with sauce to coat. Serve and enjoy!
