The Crunch
Project.

Korean dakgangjeong, studied through crunch, glaze, and heat.

Twice-fried chicken, hand-glazed to stay crisp, sticky, and bold — the way Korean street-food chicken is meant to be served.두 번 튀겨 더 바삭하게, 손으로 직접 버무린 정통 닭강정.

Project 002 — Korean dakgangjeong, twice-fried hand-glazed chicken

◇ Core Value

Twice-fried.
Hand-glazed. Loud.

Most fast-fried chicken trades crunch for speed — pre-sauced, held under heat, soggy by the time it reaches you. Project 002 is built around the opposite promise: the crust is the product.

Two fries to build the shell, a hand-tossed glaze the moment you order, and a window of seconds between glaze and serve. Loud out of the box. That's the whole point.

◇ The Process · 연구 기록

Five steps. No shortcuts.

[ KB-P002-PRC ]
Step 01
[ PRC-001 ]

Source · Whole-Muscle Chicken

Boneless thigh, hand-trimmed for fat balance. Cold-brined in a light salt and rice-vinegar solution for juiciness and clean flavor.

Step 02
[ PRC-002 ]

Dredge · 바삭함의 과학

A double-dust of potato starch and a touch of rice flour — the ratio that gives dakgangjeong its signature shattering shell instead of a bready coat.

Step 03
[ PRC-003 ]

First Fry · 160 °C

A low, patient fry that cooks the chicken through and dries the crust. Rest on rack for 4 minutes — moisture migrates out, not in.

Step 04
[ PRC-004 ]

Second Fry · 190 °C

A short, hard sear at 190 °C ± 2°. This is where the crunch is built — golden, blistered, glass-thin.

Step 05
[ PRC-005 ]

Glaze · By Hand, To Order

Tossed in small-batch glaze the moment you order — never pre-sauced. The crust stays loud; the glaze stays glossy.

◇ Specimens · 시식 기록

Three styles. One crunch.

Specimen No. 01

Golden Fried

오리지널 후라이드

Unsauced and uncompromised. Twice-fried for a shattering crust and clean, savory flavor — the baseline that proves the crunch.

Sweet & Spicy — K-BITES dakgangjeong specimen
Specimen No. 02

Sweet & Spicy

매콤 양념

Gochujang-led glaze with rice syrup and apple. A clean heat that builds without burying the crunch.

Soy Garlic — K-BITES dakgangjeong specimen
Specimen No. 03

Soy Garlic

마늘 간장

Slow-roasted garlic folded into a soy-based glaze with a hint of honey. Glossy, savory-sweet, deeply aromatic.
