    Korean Spicy Fire Chicken, Buldak

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    The literal translation of Buldak is, bul=fire, dak=chicken. On top of being a fire chicken, it is also known as a very spicy, sweet, savory grilled chicken that’s lip smacking good! In Korea, this is a popular street food or bar food that’s suppose to compliment well with beer/soju. There seems to be many variations out there, which I have only seen through pictures. But from what I have gathered, I decided to create my own version with my twist of course! My goal was to use the basic ingredients I already had in my pantry. Let me show you how I did it.
