Who doesn’t love or at least try once a South Korean-style chicken? Bonchon (meaning “My Hometown”) Restaurant originated in Busan, South Korea, and spread all over the world. First Bonchon Restaurant in the U.S. was in Fort Lee, New Jersey thanks to the large population around there.

The Busan-based Korean fried chicken franchise currently operates in 21 states in the U.S. and 8 countries internationally.

I can’t give you the nearby address for the Bonchon Restaurant in your location, but instead, I’ll give you the exact recipe so you can make this Korean-style fried chicken at home in your kitchen. You can make this copycat Bonchon Soy Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe at your comfort from your pantry.

So, let’s start…

Here’s what you need

  • 1½ lb Fresh Chicken Wings
  • 2 cups Cornstarch – If you don’t have it, the best substitute option for frying is all-purpose flour
  • ¼ Red Onion – White or yellow onion is also suitable for this recipe.
  • 4 cloves Garlic – The best substitute for garlic? Chives.  Chives have a light oniony garlic flavor that evokes the savory scent of garlic.
  • ½ cup Light Soy Sauce – As a substitute use Coconut Aminos
  • ⅓ cup Mirin – If you don’t have Mirin at home, check out all the Mirin Substitutes by clicking on the link.
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar – For substitute use white sugar and molasses together, white sugar and maple syrup together. Honey, maple syrup alone, agave, raw sugars, or white sugar.
  • ⅔ tsp Garlic Powder – Perfect substitutes are shallot and chives.
  • ½ tsp Ginger Powder – Other alternatives are Allspice, Turmeric, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, or Mace.
  • Sesame Seeds and/or Chives for garnish
  • Salt and Peper to taste
