Chef's tip: For ultimate flavour, prepare the chicken the night before and leave to marinade overnight in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- 325g plain yoghurt
- 285ml bottle of Korean BBQ Sauce
- 1.5kg skin-on chicken thighs and/or drumsticks
- 1.5l cooking oil (for deep frying)
- 220g rice or plain flour
- 1tsp salt
- 100g mayonnaise
- 2tbsp sesame seeds (black and/or plain)
- 3 sliced chillies (optional)

- Heat the oven to 160C / 140C fan / gas 3. Use a deep fat fryer, or half-fill a large saucepan with the oil, then heat to 170C (the oil should take around 8-10 minutes to heat up).
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
- Beginning with the thighs, wipe off the marinade, toss in the flour and fry in a single later for 8-10 minutes before transferring to the over to keep warm.
- Making sure the oil is still at 170C, prepare and cook the drumsticks in the same way.
- Check the chicken is cooked all the way through - if needed, keep in the oven until fully cooked.
- Drizzle over more Korean BBQ Sauce and the mayonnaise and top with the sesame seeds, chillies, spring onions and coriander. We have also added some little waffles for a an additional fried chicken and waffles twist!
