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.
I could easily go loco on a batch of these beautiful tacos! Love all those fresh and zesty flavors packed into a tortilla! Another winner of a recipe, Tieghan.

Yes, yes, a million times yes! Tieghan, this is a thing of beauty! And the Korean in me is chomping at the bit to try these 🙂 I can’t wait to see updates on the barn, especially the cooking space!

Amazon is seriously my weakness and I buy everything from there. Need to get sauce ASAP for fried chicken.
ove Amazon! 🙂
Thanks so much, Meagan!
I just made korean on tuesday, and NOW these show up! Unfortunately, I don’t think my family can handle anything else foreign for another week or so. Drat!
Oh man! Well, next week is looking good then! 🙂
Thanks Joshua!

Thanks Ashley!
This looks amazingggg! Can’t wait to try this recipe Tieghan!
Thanks so much, Kathy! Hope you love it!
I adore gochugang! It adds the perfect amount of sweet, spicy and saltiness to anything. When I use it for bibimbap, I swear I use 1/4 cup for my own bowl alone.
The stuff is so good. I am addicted! 🙂
Thanks Cara!
As a Korean-American (born and bred in NYC), it’s wonderful to see a slice of Korean cuisine on your blog! This looks absolutely drool-worthy delicious!!
Thanks so much, Siunna!! 🙂
I’ve never had Korean fried chicken, but I love anything Asian and anything fried…hello perfect meal!
I’m dying over the crunchy/creamy combo! Pinned
Thanks Taylor!
I ate what is in the pictures. It was really good, chicken is great fried. Have you considered at hot tub in the barn? 🙂
Oh good gravy. I swear you can read minds because everything you post is all my favorite things! I looove Korean fried chicken and these tacos look literally perfect. Pinning these so hard, hah
