Hamburger Recipe: Double Fried Chicken, Cheese & Coleslaw Burger

The Story Behind the Burger

The double-frying technique comes from Korean fried chicken traditions, but its application to a burger was pioneered by David Chang at Momofuku.

The modern version gained fame at Fuku in NYC, but Seoul's No. 501 has perfected it, combining American sandwich aesthetics with Korean frying expertise.

Today, the best version is hotly contested between Howlin' Ray's in LA and Crack Shack in San Diego.

Pro Tip from Andrej The Chef

"The rest between fries is non-negotiable. I discovered this technique while working in a Korean chicken joint - it allows the coating to set and create micro-bubbles that expand during the second fry. Skip this step, and you'll miss out on that earth-shattering crunch that makes this burger special."
