Dakdoritang (Korean Spicy Chicken Stew)

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"'Dakdoritang' is a chicken dish that's cooked in a spicy red sauce along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions," says Jason Lamar. "It's also called 'dakbokkeumtang' or 'dakmaeuntang.' It's usually made by cutting up a whole chicken into small pieces, but I use a combination of chicken thighs and wings. The result is succulent pieces of chicken packed with spicy and savory flavors!"

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"It took about two decades for this style of Korean fried chicken to make its way into the American foodie scene," says Diana71. "The chicken is deep fried twice to make the exterior extra crispy and to lock moisture in. The gochujang sauce is a hot, honey, spicy mix...and well, it's just fabulous. You'll have the family completely raving!"

Dak Bulgogi (Korean Barbeque Chicken)

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

With this Korean BBQ, you get the savory sweet flavors that bulgogi marinades are known for, only with tender, juicy chicken thighs instead of beef. "In order to get that single flat steak cut from the chicken thigh, it actually takes some precision and some knife handling skills," says mykoreaneats. "But all that peeling, deboning, cutting, and marinating is all worth it. Serve this with a bunch of Boston/Bibb lettuce, garnished with scallion strips."
