What are the steps in making chicken crispies?

1. Marinate the chicken skin with seasonings. Message the seasoning into the skin. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min.
2. Add 1 cup of oil into a pan and preheat for deep frying. Meanwhile, coat each chicken skin evenly with Korean frying mix powder.

I couldn’t wait to take a bite into these little crispies I call them! They were crispy, chewy, and so darn tasty!! It’s hard to explain everything in words, but your mouth will have an explosion of intense chicken flavor!!

what kind of noodles should i use?

When you are at the Asian market, you want to look for this type of noodle. It’s called ‘Udon’ or Japanese style noodle. Udon noodles are thick wheat noodles that are both soft and chewy. The Udon noodles I buy typically come in 5 block noodles per pack. You can easily find them in the frozen section. These are somewhat parboiled noodles, so they don’t’ need to be cooked too long.

It’s time to put everything together! Place the noodles in a bowl, then the chicken meat on top. Pour a generous amount of chicken soup into the bowl. Lay the chicken crispies on top. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Dig in as fast as you can!
