- 2 liters water
- ¼ cup rock salt

- ½ cup kamote starch
- ½ cup cornstarch

Cooking Method
The brining process is essential to keeping the chicken moist even after it has been deep-fried. You can’t rush this, so make sure to prepare early enough for the brine to work its magic.
The all-purpose flour helps remove the excess brine. This, in turn, reduces the amount of oil that splatters while you’re frying the chicken.
Of course, Korean fried chicken works really well when you serve kimchi with it. However, if you and your date are not into spicy dishes, you could look for white kimchi (which isn’t spicy), or even substitute another pickled vegetable like achara. Just don’t forget the rice!
