Korean vs. Japanese Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a magical food. Japan takes karaage (their version of fried chicken) seriously, it s basically a religion in South Korea. There are over 50, 000 Korean fried chicken restaurants throughout the local dining landscape. It s no joke. Here, I m placing the two types headtohead, using some classic techniques mixed with a healthy dose of creativity that sticks in line with traditional ingredients. I won t spoil it, but there s a clear winner.
