Cheese Fire Chicken

Hi everyone. I’ve been sick for 2 weeks in February. Now, I feel normal again and I’m happy to start to make recipes again. Please take care of yourself and don’t get sick like me. It is not pleasant to be in the bed without an appetite and energy. The downside my recovery is that my appetite is back and I want to eat food all the time. I keep thinking about delicious food. lol So, I use my situation to come up with delicious recipe ideas. And today, I will share one of them with you. Oh, I’m super excited now. It is “Cheese Fire Chicken” called cheese buldak (치즈 불닭) in Korean. It is a spicy chicken that is served with melted cheese. The chicken is marinated and fried with a very spicy sauce, so people call it fire chicken. Your mouth will burn like fire from the spiciness. However, the cheese reduces the spiciness of the chicken and creates a very tasty combination of flavors. My husband normally doesn’t like fusion food much. So, when I described this dish to him at first, he wasn’t that excited about it. Korean spicy chicken with cheese? Nah~~~~ lol But, once he tried it, he was very impressed by the flavor. He gave 5 stars. yay ~~ 🙂 In this recipe, I will share some of the secret ingredients for amazing flavor. Please try it someday.
