Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Bites with Creamy Drizzle

In a bowl, soak chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.

Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

Coat the Chicken:
Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge pieces in the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat well.

Fry the Chicken:
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 175°C (350°F). Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Korean Glaze:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Toss Chicken in Glaze:
Place fried chicken in a large bowl, pour glaze over, and toss until evenly coated.

Prepare Creamy Drizzle:
Mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl.

Serve:
Arrange glazed chicken bites on a platter, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
