If there’s something you’re going to fry, it needs to be these Korean Fried Chicken Tacos.
And this is coming from someone who does everything she can not to fry. Oddly though, I have now fried three things this week.
Huh, maybe I secretly love it?
Nope, I don’t, but sometimes the mess and grease are worth it. Like for doughnuts, well and really any fried dough. And definitely this chicken.
Seriously though, this chicken is special. When I saw it over on one of my favorite blogs, The Tart Tart a few weeks ago I knew it was something I really wanted to try. It’s all about two important things. One, it’s double fried, and two, the sauce. The sauce is amazing and it’s due to Gochujang sauce. A word I have not a clue how to say, but I do know that it’s Korean hot chile paste and it MAKES this chicken.
I could not find it at my local store (surprise, surprise), but I just ordered it on Thrive Market, which for me is actually easier than going to the store.
Speaking of Amazon though, I kind of, sort of, think it would be awesome if everything could be bought from Amazon. My life would be so much easier.
Oh but, speaking of life? The barn is really happening.
Like floors, and counters, all the stuff is being planned and picked out. I need help. No really, I do! Please start telling me the do’s and don’ts. What’s your favorite flooring? Bathroom sink? Lights? Windows? Furniture??
Taking any and all advice. Starting like yesterday.
I have so many ideas, but putting them all together into one space is hard. Kind of the way it is with my recipes and deciding on just one flavor, or whether to go fried or baked, chicken or tuna, savory or sweet… while you get the picture. Only this is permanent. This is my new home.
Exiting and overwhelming all at the same time, but mostly exciting.
With so many decisions to make, the only thing I am sure of is that you’ll love this recipe. With crispy noodles and queso fresco, there is nothing not to love. Go on, give it a try!

Oh, and if you start your day with this bowl, and end it with these tacos, your Wednesday will be completely balanced.
We made these for Easter, and they were amazing! We fried them once, but they were still great like that.
Hey Jenny,
Happy Monday!!🌞 I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your feedback, so glad to hear that it turned out well for you! xx
Tieghan,
These were a HUGE HIT at my house. I made them AGAIN for guest and they were IMPRESSED! I would like to copy a picture and put it on my upcoming church IG account. I am just learning the ropes on IG.
Would you mind if I did this, making sure that you get the credit for YOUR hard work?
Thank you!
This will be repeated monthly at my house. Maybe more!

Hi Nancy! Of course that is alright! Thank you so much for thinking of this recipe and my blog to feature! Please just make sure to tag my Instagram @halfbakedharvest ? xTieghan
Gochujang is Korean Ketchup not hot chili paste which is a different product. It is spicy, however and definitely adds to many dishes. It’s also sweet. Just thought you might be interested to know there is an actual Korean hot chili paste. Yes, I cook a lot of Korean foods thanks to Korean friends. 😉
That is very interesting! Thanks Dena!
This is a beautiful recipe with lots of visual and textual appeal. I think frying the chicken is overkill. The coating takes over the flavor of the tacos and doesn’t Iet the flavors come together in the taco. I sauteed the remainder of the chicken and it was far better in my opinion.
I am really glad you liked this recipe! Thank you!
Tieghan, these look so more-ish. I can’t wait to try them. I just love Asian cuisine so to have this fusion sounds delicious!
