This is the second time I made Yangnyeom Tongdak, and just like the first time... this fried chicken is very easy to make, with a simple spice but very rich in flavor. 

When I was asked by a friend of mine who come today  to my house "specialty"  to see the Korean dishes I made that day, she  ask - "well, here anyway seems easy, but can I make this without you?”
"Guaranteed u can, as long as u not replaced all the ingredients I mention above so u will still have a flavor of Korean dishes! :D” I answered while smile. 
That's probably a cliché answer, but it’s true.  This dish is very easy to make. If there is a department store, or Korean supermarket near to your house, then that's the right place for you’re to visit ;)
