Instructions

1. 1
   Mise En Place

   Gather a scale, sheet pan, rack, skillet, brush, bowl, spoon, knife, and board, then measure every ingredient before heating. · 5 min

   What to look for: Ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Heat Chicken

   Heat the double fried chicken on a rack at 204°C / 400°F until the crust is hot, dry, and audibly crisp. · 8 min

   When it is done: Chicken reaches 74°C / 165°F in the center if starting cold.

3. 3
   Warm Glaze

   Warm the gochujang glaze in a small pan over low heat, stirring until glossy and loose enough to coat the chicken. · 3 min

   What to look for: The glaze shines and flows slowly from the spoon.

4. 4
   Glaze Chicken

   Brush the hot chicken with gochujang glaze on all sides, leaving a few ridges bare so the coating keeps some crunch. · 2 min

   What to look for: The chicken is shiny with visible crisp edges.

5. 5
   Toast Buns

   Melt butter in a skillet and toast the cut sides of each milk bun until golden, fragrant, and lightly crisp. · 3 min

   What to look for: The bun surfaces are golden and lightly crisp.

6. 6
   Dress Buns

   Spread kewpie mayo over the warm bun bases and lids, keeping the layer even so every bite tastes rich and tangy. · 2 min

   What to look for: The mayo forms an even glossy layer.

7. 7
   Build Sandwich

   Place glazed chicken on each bun base, mound kimchi slaw on top, and close with the mayo coated lids. · 2 min

   What to look for: The slaw sits high over the sticky glazed chicken.

8. 8
   Serve Immediately

   Serve the sandwiches at once while the chicken is crisp, the glaze is sticky, and the slaw is cool. · 1 min

   What to look for: The sandwich looks tall, glossy, and fresh.
