Why Is Korean Fried Chicken Double-Fried?

What Does Double Frying Mean?

Double frying is exactly what it sounds like.

The chicken is fried once to cook it through. After resting briefly, it's fried a second time at a higher temperature.

That second fry removes additional moisture from the coating while creating an incredibly crisp exterior.

The result?

A lighter, crunchier piece of chicken that stays crispy longer—even after it's coated in sauce.

Why It Works

During the first fry, moisture inside the chicken begins to escape while the meat cooks evenly.

The second fry finishes the job by crisping the outside without drying out the juicy chicken inside.

That's why Korean fried chicken often feels less greasy than traditional fried chicken while delivering an even bigger crunch.

Built for Bold Sauces

One of the biggest advantages of double-fried chicken is that it stands up to sauce.

Whether you love sweet, spicy, garlic, or savory flavors, the crispy coating holds its texture instead of becoming soggy.

That means every bite delivers the perfect combination of crunch and flavor.
