Fry The Wings:

Make The Ramen Sauce:

Tips:
- To make the wings extra crispy, you can double-fry them by frying the wings once, letting them cool, and then frying them again.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less gochujang to the sauce.
- For a healthier alternative, you can bake the chicken wings instead of frying them.
- Serve the KFC Ramen Wings with a side of kimchi or pickled vegetables for a traditional Korean touch.
What To Serve With
- Kimchi Slaw: A refreshing and tangy kimchi slaw can complement the bold flavors of the KFC Ramen Wings. Mix shredded cabbage, carrots, and kimchi with a dressing of sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey.
- Sticky Rice: Serve the wings alongside a bowl of sticky rice to soak up the delicious sauce and provide a comforting base for your meal.
- Pickled Vegetables: Pickled cucumbers, radishes, or jalapeños add a zesty crunch and a hint of acidity that balances the richness of the wings.
- Asian-Inspired Salad: Create a light and refreshing salad with mixed greens, thinly sliced cucumbers, and a sesame ginger dressing to contrast the spiciness of the wings.
- Cold Beer or Soju: The fiery kick of the KFC Ramen Wings pairs wonderfully with a cold beer or a crisp glass of soju, enhancing the overall dining experience.
- Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces such as sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, or a traditional Korean ssamjang to amp up the flavor profile of the meal.
