Korean Fried Chicken

We've been in a bit of an asian eats mood recently and fortunately for us Woolworths has expanded their asian pantry significantly. Along with the sambal oelek we recently found that they also stock Gochujang paste which is an essential ingredient in a lot of Korean specialties.

Sambal Oelek Chicken Thighs

One of the first things I can remember cooking was a honey and sesame marinated chicken roast. I was thinking of that dish and those flavours as I was driving home and thought I wanted something similar but much punchier.

Lollipop Chicken & Sides

Masterchef Australia is a religion in our home and for this dinner we were inspired by the winner of Masterchef Australia 2011 Adam Liaw. He posted these mouth watering Karaage Chicken Wings which we just had to try. This meal can make a great tapas-y snack for 4 people or a dinner for 2 with some leftovers. Creating the lollipops was a new fun technique which we really enjoyed learning but it definitely makes the wings dangerously easily to finish as you can eat them in almo
