How to Make Korean Fried Chicken (+Honey Soy Garlic Sauce)

Korean Friend Chicken is my favourite way to cook chicken wings. I have tweaked this recipe numerous times to ensure the wings are cooked to perfection! Some recipes will include double-frying, but this recipe will only require corn or potato starch.
