Korean BUFFALO WINGS

This is my version of Buffalo wings, tossed in a Korean-style hot sauce. If you can’t find pre-cut ‘party wings’, get regular wings, cut off and discard the tips, and separate the wings at the main joint. Wings can vary quite a bit in size, but 1.3 kilos of average wings will give you a total of 24–26 drumettes and wingettes.

Ingredients

Makes 24-26 drumettes and wingettes

SAUCE

CHICKEN

  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1.3 kg (3 lb) chicken drumettes and wingettes or flats (also called ‘party wings’)
  • 140 g (5 oz) potato starch
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

FOR THE SAUCE

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Whisk in the vinegar, chilli paste and chilli flakes until smooth and set aside in a warm spot.

FOR THE CHICKEN

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking powder and pepper. Put the chicken in a large bowl, sprinkle with the garlic powder mixture and toss to coat. Leave to stand for 5–10 minutes. Sprinkle the potato starch over the chicken and toss again, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  2. In a large, wide, heavy-based pot at least 13 cm (5 in) deep, heat 5 cm (2 in) of oil over a medium-high heat until it reaches 190°C/375°F. Working in batches, fry the chicken, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 8–10 minutes in total. Transfer to a wire rack or kitchen paper-lined plate to drain. Let the oil return to 190°C/375°F between batches.
  3. Put the cooked wings in a very large bowl. If the sauce has separated, give it a good whisk to bring it back together. Drizzle it over the chicken and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile image🔥 Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi-bokkeum-bap)

Part of my K-Quick Recipe Series — quick, bold Korean dishes from my newest cookbook!

The ultimate fridge-cleanout meal — with serious Seoul 🔥🍳

My take on this classic uses leftover rice, bold umami filled seasoning, and a cheeky little spoonful of mayo for creaminess (trust me!). Top with scallions and gochugaru — and dinner’s done and delicious. 

What’s your must-add protein in kimchi fried rice? Shrimp? Spam? Egg? Tofu? 👀👇
I always add a fried egg… and toss in some prawns.  Delish.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageJuly’s off to a sizzling start 🇺🇸🌭🇬🇧

Honored to join Ambassador Warren @us_amb_uk and friends at this year’s Independence Day celebration at Winfield House — where diplomacy came with a side of hot dogs, @jackdaniels_us & @cocacola, and a surprise appearance from a life-sized @wendys Frosty.

Grateful for the warm hospitality and a chance to celebrate American roots in the heart of London — through food, friendship, and a whole lot of flavor.

Note to self: next time, bring kimchi for the hot dogs. 🌭🌶️

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhat I Ate at the @henleyroyalregatta🍓🥂

Pulled up in serious style thanks to @genesis_europe — smooth sailing from the start, and the day just kept getting better. 💫

Lunch? A masterclass in indulgence. Wye Valley asparagus dressed up with truffle aioli, perfectly pink lamb with fondant potato, and generous helpings of BYOCaviar (shoutout to @kingsfinefood1 for the pearls ✨). Followed by a raspberry and white chocolate “pebble” that looked more like sculpture than dessert. Almost too pretty to eat… almost. Finished with a stunning British cheese board and flowing Nyetimber and Pimms, of course. When in Regatta mode!

We floated along the Thames on a post-lunch boat ride (dreamy), with live music and the most elegant afternoon tea to top it all off. British summer, you beauty.

Now manifesting a @seoulbirduk riverside stand next year—because fried chicken and champagne? Name a better duo. 😌🍗🍾

Big love to @genesis_europe for the luxe lift, and to @sodexolive for the five-star hospitality and unforgettable day.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhen @chowhound asked about my favorite fast food pizza, I didn’t hesitate: @twobootspizza. 💥🍕

That crackly cornmeal crust? Unmatched. Crispy on the outside, chewy through the bite — it’s nostalgic, a little nutty, and totally addictive. Two Boots has been serving NYC attitude by the slice for decades — and I’m still hooked.

After a long day at work (or a good cocktail), my go-to was always the same: one plain cheese to check the fundamentals, and one Buckminster for comfort and character. Roasted garlic, spinach, three cheeses… say no more.

What I love most? They’ve nailed texture — that golden ratio of crunch to chew is no easy feat. And if I ever got to design my own pie? I’d bring the K-Slice: mozzarella, sautéed kimchi, smoky pork belly. A slice with Seoul. 😉 Because let’s be honest — kimchi belongs on everything (yes, even pizza).

Happy to be in good company, talking pizza next to my filming buddies @jeffmauro and @bobbyflay. 🍕👀
