Korean Fried Chicken vs. My Self-Control

I thought I had willpower. Then I made Korean fried chicken (Joshua Weissman’s recipe) and Maangchi’s spicy cucumber salad. Let’s just say, self-control didn’t stand a chance. The chicken came out shatteringly crisp, the kind of crunch you hear across the room. The cucumbers? Spicy, tangy, and so refreshing they basically demanded a second helping. I tried to save some for tomorrow. I really did. But somehow, between the sauce-drenched bites and the cold, fiery cucumbers, my fridge ended up empty. No regrets, just a lingering chili burn and the deep, existential knowledge that I am powerless before the gods of Korean comfort food. Anyone else ever cook something so good you immediately lose all sense of moderation? Asking for a friend (and my future grocery bill). #KoreanFriedChicken #Maangchi #JoshuaWeissman #Food #Foodie
