Secret to Korean Fried chicken batter that stays crispy for hours
recipe:
Wings that don't get soggy!
While I am not a chef, I do have many years of deep-frying experience at the State Fair of TX. When I moved back to TX from NY 14 years ago, I was really missing Korean Fried Chicken, so I was determined to open up a wings & ramen joint! Since my SIL had experience running a restaurant, I would always pitch her ideas. We tested so many different batters for wings, and they were GOOD, but none of them would stay crispy after getting sauced. Even my mom got involved and encouraged us to try corn starch!
At some point, I realized that opening a restaurant was a little far-fetched. I then recalled eating yakitori at a Japanese place, and it was just chicken skin!! There was no meat! It was delicious because the skin is my favorite part! Elated with this new revelation, I ran to my SIL and said, What if we took just the chicken skin and fried it??? And instead of opening a restaurant, we can apply for the State Fair, and surely it'll stand out!?
And of course, my SIL excitedly agreed!! I was so happy she didn't call me crazy for my wild ideas! I hope you all have a chi Michelle in your life!! My uncle also hopped onboard. Gotta love that entrepreneurial spirit! My SIL and I spent many nights testing all kinds of fried foods, and somehow, we were accepted for a booth out of hundreds of applications!
When we applied, I was transitioning back to TX, but then I got a full-time position back in Corporate America. Thankfully, my SIL is a boss babe and managed the whole operations and delegated a few of the tasks to my uncle and me. She brought everything to life!
I like to think we brought fried chicken skin to Texas, and maybe even the US! I am trying to get more comfortable bragging about my accomplishments instead of feeling weird about it! Oh, and I was also on a deep-frying TV competition, and I won with a French toast mac-n-cheese burger. All this to say that deep-frying and air-frying are kinda my jam! :)
SECRET: So the secret to wings that stay crispy is a wet batter that consists of corn starch and rice flour!!

All right, so this is the basic Chip Shop batter. I'm making a full recipe today, because we're going to be open for business and I might as well. We use seven pounds of flour. We've been doing this 12 years now, so we don't really need to weigh these things. We know what seven pounds of flour is. When you've used your batter for the day, you throw it away.
The worse thing is, is to use the batter the next day. Because you know we've all been to these fish 'n chip restaurants where the batter's been a bit doughy and a bit nasty. That's because it's old batter. So you've got seven pounds of flour. We put 4 tablespoons of baking powder. That gives you a bit of air, it aerates it.
We do 3 oz. of malt vinegar. You could use red wine vinegar, it doesn't make that much difference. And we do 6 oz. of salt, which to me is two handfuls. In there we put 120 oz. of water, obviously you don't ever mix it like this at home. I think The Chip Shop batter recipe online is 1 cup of flour and 12 oz. of water, so you can do it by hand.
So guys, this is the batter. It's a little bit thick. If you need to thin out your batter, because it's a little thick, remember you can always add, but you can't take away. It's like salt, you over season something you're screwed. This is the perfect consistency now. So what we're going to do, we use about a cap of food coloring, very little.
Again, with the food coloring. If you're going the egg food coloring, use it very sparingly. You don't need-- I mean I've used maybe a cap and a half to make 100-something orders of fish 'n chips, so it really is a small part of the ingredients, and it is rather strong. Different brands are also different strengths, so just because the brand you bought last week doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the same as the brand you bought this wee.
All right, and that's the Chip Shop batter. Let me show you a little about the consistency of this batter. As I say, you can make it thinner and it's crispier. You can make it thicker and it's more doughy. This is how we start off. If you look at it on the back of a spoon, you run your finger down it, it's very thin, but it doesn't run into the spoon again.
I think if it's the same consistency of a creme glaze, and if you're doing a lot of frying, because the process is flour first, then batter, the batter gets thicker, because obviously the flour mixes in with it. But this is the perfect batter. You really don't want to keep it for more than four hours. After four hours the gluten starts to work and it starts to get a bit doughy. And that's The Chip Shop Batter.
