This Sticky Korean Chicken recipe owes it delicious taste to a flavorful marinade bursting with sweet, sour and savory notes. If you try one new recipe this month, try this Sticky Asian Chicken! I don’t know where you are but we are experiencing an uncharacteristically glorious summer in England this year, so everything I’ve wanted to cook lately mirrored our hot and sticky days. This sticky Korean chicken is no exception.
