Sweet and crispy chicken wings ("dak kang jung")

[ExiledStardust]

You are too cute. Watching this video makes me hungry.

[nogshim]

i tried making this last friday...used chivken breast cut into small pieces...followed the recipe all the way through...but the sauce go really hard, i mean rock hard once it cooled...it stuck to the plate and would not come off until we heated it up in the microwave. what did i do wrong...?

[Maangchi]

@nogshim oh sorry to hear that. The sauce must have been cooked too long. If it turns out too sticky and hard, add more water and boil it to thin it out.

[kitsumekat]

Can the peanuts be omitted?

[Maangchi]

@kitsumekat of couse you can skip peanuts.

[kitsumekat]

@Maangchi Thank you :)

[ladysoy]

I just finished making this dish, its like candy chicken. (lol) I ate a couple of pieces right away. I will cut up the pieces that you suggested in the recipe. The sticky sauce did get a brunt taste to it, as I was trying to spoon all sauce on the chicken. (lol)

[vloggingrapefruit]

I just did my second attempt at this recipe and I nailed it! Check it out on my channel, ive also done a video response to this vid. Love this recipe.

[judayxlo]

Omg I just made this....and it FAILED.

The sauce wasn't getting sticky enough so my mom and I added SO MUCH CORN SYRUP. T_T;

It looks really good, but it tastes like candied chicken.

[berek290]

3:29 MAGIC!

[Skeptic4396]

You are adorable. I can't wait to try this! 

[bkim9289]

I wish you were my mother LOL ... soo hunnggryy..

[Tsusuu1]

I made this and kimchi stew today. The kimchi stew turned out really great, and the fried chicken looked good too. My sauce did not turn out very good though... It hardened so much, stuck to my teeth, I could barely eat one. Oh well. I'll be trying your other chicken wing recipe (Korean fried chicken) next time. ")

[808Scrillas]

I love your videos! Keep up the nice work, i will def. try out some of the recipe asap XD

[sn0306]

hello maagchi im a fan of you, im portuguese and we dont have some stuff, so what can i use instead of corn syrup ??? thank you and keep on

kisskiss

[Maangchi]

@sn0306 you can use brown sugar or honey.

[tibetplayer]

yeah its very good!!!

[kingdeucey]

Amazing looks good :)

[jadesohpuppy]

Sry to bring your attention to this but she said she loved something, @6.42/6.43 i cant catch it properly, mind telling me what she said????

[cooxia1215]

@jadesohpuppy the one with peanut & ginger

[Abic00l]

Am gonna try it right now..

[SabrinaD73]

This recipe was very good..the only reason I won't make it again is I don't care for the sticky mess the sauce makes. I had some sauce leftover & mixed with bbq sauce and it was very good.

[GT99]

sorry for the silly question but starch powder? As in potato starch or corn starch or would it matter? also soy sauce...japanese style or chinese? both taste so different, and forgive me as I dont know much about korean cooking, only experience has been korean BBQ places, but this looks very good to make

[Maangchi]

@GT99 yes, corn, potato, or sweet potato starch powder would be ok. Check out the photos of ingredients on my website please.

[9HereticPrincess9]

This looks great! Though I would leave out the pepper.

[ParkMale69]

It would taste better without peanuts.

[piratepeak]

Makes my mouth water every time! Might you make an updated video for this recipe in HD? Pleeeeease!! :)

[natasya4638]

40 pieces of chicken? are u making wedding ceremony or something?

[beatricexox]

Where did you get your metal bowls,Maangchi dearest? :P

[shujun87]

oohh i really love wingtips!

[GreanNewYear]

Maangchi! this is really good! i sooooo love your videos! keep it up!

[Maangchi]

@GreanNewYear yay!

[freda07]

i love how you munches the food after you cook them:D i will try making this dish in our next potluck dinner which is tomorrow night..thank you for sharing your recipe..

[isoluvmylife]

anything that u made makes me drool!!!

[Maangchi]

@isoluvmylife thanks a lot! 

[elvisreviews]

Thank you, just made this also. Same fry recipe, salt pepper, flour / corn starch but I used a regular bbq sauce boiled with some vinegar and plenty of ginger. Reminded me of something I had long ago at kfc. With a different sauce this same recipe you can make general tso also. Thanks =) hugs and kisses!

[mgoskay]

everything you cook driving me crazy! ni need to taste them NOW :(( Great job

[inuyasha929]

hey, Maangchi! can you use regular sugar or honey instead of brown sugar? i don't have brown sugar right now... :(

[Maangchi]

@inuyasha929 Yes, you can. Why not. : )

[screemingtp]

How can I save this for the next day. I would like to take it to my potluck but I'm afraid if I heat it up it may not stay crunchy and get rubbery.

[123Durden]

ohh sorry also i didnt have chicken wings. so i got boneless chicken meat from the legs and thighs

[123Durden]

Maangchi, I just made some dak kang jung a couple minutes ago!! it was sooo delicious :D.

For the chicken I forgot to put egg all i used was flour and corn starch, but it still worked great!!

I didn't have corn syrup so i used sugar and some honey.

I didn't have ginger so i used ginger powder.

Thank you!!

[Maangchi]

@123Durden wow, awesome! Next time make this again with all the ingredients and compare the taste. I'm glad to hear that you liked the recipe. Happy cooking!

[itseffinsexxitime]

i always like to eat the tips of the wings..i don't know why..maybe because they're always so crispy

[rovitaqi]

i wishh i have time for cooking.... haiz... u make all my salivaa dropping.. hope i can make this cooking for dinner.. around this week,, Please wish me to get home early,,,, hahahahha

[drsnowmon]

Bob Marley is legend, you have good taste in music Maangchi!

[screemingtp]

Could I use a deep fryer instead of a pan for the chicken

[Maangchi]

@screemingtp yes, using a deep fryer is even better.

[rc100100110]

Thanks for using one of my favorite Bob Marley songs!! You are definitely subscribed!

[amysaelee]

Thank you for sharing your receipe with us looks amazingly good.your techques and tools use was every nice clean and prepare easily great food :)

[rubberduckflim]

I made this and it taste's amazing!

[rainiemsantos]

For the sauce, can I substitute all or some of the ginger with garlic?

[Mojojohana1994]

thumbs up for bob marley!

[sheathed011790]

can i use regular cooking oil and if i use sugar instead of the corn syrup should I dissolve it first or just add it?

[samihuhu]

@curious2308 I think you can add more sugar rather than corn syrup.

when corn syrup is cooling, It's going to be hard mixed with other ingredients.

[ELTONSMELLTON]

buffalo soldja intro!!!

[SOXnCUBSfan]

OH MY GOSH!!!! THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! i'm gonna make this for dinner some time. thanks for sharing your recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Scionofgreyhaven]

i wish i had many other different type of asian friends so they can make me good food hehe! (i still love my mom's cooking though too!) Watching your videos Maangchi while i have fever, makes me want to recover faster to eat!

[mlauntube]

This is foodporn! I’ve had similar sweet and spice fried chicken wings from Chinese places, but I’m sure this is far better. Can you suggest sides from your video collection to make a full meal with this? On another of your videos, you used rice syrup and I think it has lower water content (more sugar); it’s so thick. Would you recommend it for this recipe?

Also, save the wing tips for chicken stock and also you can separate the fat and freeze it for anything you fry for chicken dishes.

[Deathgod1628]

That looks good. :) I want to make it but I don't gave all the ingredients. :( I need to go shopping.

[PcJaiden828]

MAMA MAANGCHI! YOU MAKE BEST FOOD!!!!!!!

[bobduvar]

Light and sugarless !!!!!! O_o..ps !!!!

[curious2308]

hi, I tried out the recipe. Instead of using wings i used parts of chicken. I followed everything it came out looking fantastic, but after 15 min it got really hard.. did i do something wrong.. Please do tell..

[minzy456]

heeey maangchi, i wanna make this recipe today i got most of the ingredients except the corn syrup can you do without it ? :SS

[Maangchi]

@minzy456 Use sugar if corn syrup is not available. It will make your dakkakngjung shiny and sweet.

[CalintzKid]

Maangchi, could i use boneless chicken instead, or will it fall apart easily?

[Maangchi]

@CalintzKid yes, chicken breast or boneless chicken works well.

[JFreshsounds]

40 pieces of chicken? i see you wanna cook for me :)

[infraball]

a small piece of me died every time she pushed the tip of the wings away.. they're so tasty! D:

[MINT91210]

i made this it was soooooooo gooood!!!

[GhostLibra1]

44 people are allergic to peanuts :P

[migencluz]

thanks

[migencluz]

the bone end of the chicken wing makes it taste good... so could i include that?

[Maangchi]

@migencluz Sure, why not!

[GazeRock123]

Can we take the slices of ginger out before putting in the syrup :3?

[lc385]

i really need to go to an asian market soon and find all the ingredients that i cant find in other markets because i need to start cooking soon!!!!!..im so hungry..-_- its torture watching your videos because your food is soooooo yummy looking. thanks for all these vids. ill be looking forward to seeing more ^-^

[ariesblackwood]

This was such a hit at my friends birthday picnic. I had to share the recipe with them. You are wonderful. Thanks.

[mykani]

Maybe since I added too much corn syrup but is the chicken supposed to taste like candy and have a texture like caramel? I tried to chew and it was like eating caramel! =x

[huyentrang148]

i have a Korean boyfriend. I have been learning all about Korean such as language and food. I love all your videos

[heraldhenry88]

6.43 i LOLed... other than that it looks damn good...

[homebrewgod]

[manonmoon12]

[mthkngfthwrld]

[blinkofaneye2soon]

You are so awesome, i am so hungry!! this is so good looking! i can watch your channel all day long, thanks from India being on youtube!!

[Maangchi]

@blinkofaneye2soon thank you very much!

[krismo1011]

[aglang1]

[preciousrockdoll]

[Maangchi]

@msleekimho Thank you for your update! Good news! From now you can make this delicious crunchy chicken all the time! Congratulations!

[dbs84]

Haha yeah I noticed the Steam Whistle beer too, yet her profile says USA. Where do you live Maangchi?

[Maangchi]

@dbs84 When I filmed this video, I lived in Toronto Canada. Now I'm living in NYC. I like Blue Moon these days. : )

[willeatbrains]

saw the "Steam Whistle" you mus t be in toronto.,,nice choice girl.

[Shroomn2hi]

those look wonderful... .and Maangchi sure has a cute manner about her.

Only thing is, I'm not a fan of corn syrup (mercury, and GMO origins in US).

Is there a suitable substitution, such as maltose?

[Maangchi]

@Shroomn2hi yes, maltose syrup sounds good to me. Good luck with making delicious chicken!

[Shroomn2hi]

@Maangchi -- Thanks for your reply Maangchi. Keep up the good work and please keep posting videos. I just love hot and spicy Korean food :))

[TheRamstoss]

Mine became way too sticky like candy as it cooled down. How do you control that?

[Maangchi]

@TheRamstoss If it's too sticky, add a little water to thin it out.

[xlxAbby0Princessxlx]

shes soo cute

[StrictlyReggae]

damm im too lazy to make this

[ladythreecats]

I like your video's.... and I like it how you always eat after you have cooked.

[Maangchi]

@ladythreecats great! cheers! : )

[pizzaboy1250]

This lady is my hero! I wish my mom cooked like this :) I could eat all 40 easy

[BestCubanCuisine]

mmmmmm....so mouth watering!!....cant w8 to make it...^^

[powerpooch]

nice song choice

[angiebigbutt]

i love you your awesome!

[PoisonIvy1983]

This looks amazing. I may try this today. Would it be ok to use rice flour instead of the plain flour/starch mixture?

[incatata]

for a minuet i thought i could smell the deliciousness.

[apple100000000001]

i just make this and it turns out super delicious!!! but I changed a few things because I can't find those things at the supermarket near my house... I use pancake syrup, and it doesn't taste weird :D and I use lime instead of vinegar

[lemonwasher]

you are so cute when explaining stuff!!

[blackchidori97]

Wad type of starch did you use?



[Maangchi]

@blackchidori97 potato starch powder is good. Check out the photo on ingredient section on my website. Thank you!

[Tomboysdude]

i noticed that you used alot of sugar and brown sugar in your dishes,,,do i have to use thoughs two?..or can replace it with spenda..or another diabetic sugar?..i have two diabetics in my family.

[Maangchi]

@Tomboysdude Yes, you could replace sugar with splenda. Good luck with making good japchae and let me know hot it turns out.

[SergeCWazukie]

@Tomboysdude i too replaced it with splenda, it tastes so much better with the splends since its sweeter :3 yuummm

[Maangchi]

@SergeCWazukie awesome! If you want to share your tip (using splenda instead of sugar) with more people, please leave it on the forum on my website (general discussion). It will be big help for those with diabetes.

[jstele]

@Tomboysdude Splenda is SO bad for you. I would use stevia.

[charliepossenriede]

that looks good lol

[Patty12Krabby]

Hey Maangchi, I cooked this for a potluck party and everyone freaked out and loved it and they were begging for recipes. i have to owe you a subscribtion and i owe you a big thanks because i loved you recipe i was born in japan but i moved to korea when i was about 6 years old i like it so i can speak both korean and jappaneese!

[Maangchi]

@Patty12Krabby great! I'm very happy to hear that your friends loved your dakkangjung!

[TheRaven1010]

I am filipina. I love korean food especially kimchi.. I can make my own kimchi thanks to your videos. I'm gonna try this recipe for my parent's 31st anniversarry.. I let you know if my family will love it. thanks

[questionsmyfuture23]

I'm soo gonna have to try this...anything that's sweet annnd spicy are ace in my book!!

[bambam6910]

Im going to cook it!!!!!WOW WOW!!!!.

[rlaeodnjsdmsWKddla]

Cool

[vloggingrapefruit]

Hey i made this but i messed up at the end. check out my attempt on my channel.

[Maangchi]

@vloggingrapefruit I checked it out and see it looks awesome!

[rockypham]

@vloggingrapefruit You need more water for the sauce. To fix the situation like yours, add boiling water. Put the fire on small while you put the chicken in. The heat will help to keep the sugar melted. Some steps were missing but it looks nice though.

[EstherBunniez]

I tried this dish awhile back! Delicious! More of a appetizer not for eating with rice hahah. But tasted like candy chicken wings!

[allicens]

love it it the best !!!!

[ixjha]

I'm gonna try this after I try cooking bulgogi :D

[hitawaykid]

She is so cute and lovely. Super cool ahjumma

[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

Hi Maangchi, I think this was probably the best chicken wing recipe ever! I will try it soon and let you know...Thanks so much, it looks really good! :)))

[Maangchi]

@MYHOLLANDGIRL check out another fried and seasoned chicken recipe, too. You may like it, too. It's called "yangnyeom tongdak" sure, let me know how your chicken turns out or take a photo and upload it on my website to share with my other readers. Cheers!

[GammaMatta]

Can I use cornstarch instead of the starch powder?

[MetalMidget12]

It's one of my favourite type of dishes... It is AMAZING !! :)

But is there a way to make it spicy, instead of sweet ??

[Maangchi]

@MetalMidget12 add more hot pepper flakes or crushed chili peppers (dried ones).

[Solitude075]

Bob marley FTW

[HybridHumanSquid]

Korean food is so delicious!! Its one of my favorite types of food!

[imhappiernow21]

[seamonster1224]

[Maangchi]

@seamonster1224 you could use rice syrup, honey, or just sugar.

[vanillabeansoymilk]

[Maangchi]

@vanillabeansoymilk I'm sorry to hear that your dakkangjung didn't seem to turn out good. Check the recipe on my website. I posted more detailed info, tips, step by step directions, and the photos. Don't give up making delicious dakkangjung. Many people let me know they got lots of compliments from their family members and friends when they made this. Cheers!

[phebesdad]

you said starch powder is that like corn starch?

[Maangchi]

@phebesdad yes, you can use corn starch, potato starch, or sweet potato starch powder.

[despairia]
