How We Prepare Korean Fried Chicken at Mr Lee

Korean fried chicken is one of the most popular dishes on our menu, but what makes it different is how it is prepared.

From the beginning, we have focused on keeping the process simple, consistent, and true to how this dish is commonly made in Korea.

The Double Frying Method

One of the key differences with Korean fried chicken is the use of a double frying technique.

The chicken is first fried at a lower temperature to cook it through, then fried a second time at a higher temperature to create a light, crispy exterior.

This method helps remove excess moisture and gives the chicken its signature texture – crispy on the outside while staying tender inside.

Fresh Preparation

We prepare the chicken fresh throughout the day rather than cooking large batches in advance.

This allows us to maintain consistency in texture and flavour, and ensures that each portion is served at its best.

The Role of Sauces

Sauces are an essential part of Korean fried chicken.

Our sauces are prepared using the same base methods that have been used since the restaurant first opened, with a focus on balance rather than overpowering flavours.

Whether it is a classic Korean-style sauce or a creamier variation, the goal is always the same – to complement the chicken rather than mask it.

Consistency Matters

One of the most important aspects of this dish is consistency.

We follow the same preparation steps every time, from frying to seasoning, so that customers can expect the same result with each visit.

This is something many of our regular customers notice and appreciate.

A Simple Approach That Works

Korean fried chicken does not rely on complex techniques or heavy seasoning.

Instead, it is about doing a few things well – proper frying, balanced sauces, and consistent preparation.

This approach is what gives the dish its familiar, comforting quality and why it remains one of the most recommended items on our menu.
