Any type of chicken will do as long as it is the amount from one whole chicken, but the standard is a whole chicken sold at supermarkets for spicy braised chicken. I recommend boneless chicken thighs. (The breast meat doesn't absorb the seasoning well and can sometimes taste bland.)

Adjust the amount of seasoning according to the amount of rice cakes used. If more than 200g of rice cakes are used, double the amount of seasoning.

Stir-fry over low heat, then finish by turning up the heat slightly to high.

If you do not have an air fryer, lightly grease a frying pan, heat it up, place the chicken in, add water one spoonful at a time, cover the pan, and cook. Repeat this process of adding water when it starts to evaporate about four times to cook the chicken deliciously.

This recipe is very popular because it allows you to easily recreate the Zicoba-style taste at home. It is impressive that most people adjust the soy sauce and oyster sauce to create their own unique flavor. It is not difficult, making it easy for cooking beginners to try, and it received a positive response from the whole family. Overall, it is a recipe that has received high marks for its taste and simplicity.

I really enjoyed the meal! I made the sauce by mixing in an extra tablespoon of oyster sauce to your recipe. Also, after stir-frying everything, I added 2 tablespoons of smoky oil at the end for a smoky flavor. If you add rice after finishing the main dish and stir-fry it while letting the moisture evaporate, you'll get a taste that's about 95% similar to the original :):)

Prickly Neogul 2021-03-07 18:16:51

It's really delicious!!^^ I made it with chicken breast and rice cake slices, using just onions since I didn't have any Cheongyang peppers, but it tastes great even though I used whatever ingredients I had on hand. Next time, I'll bring the ingredients and give it a proper try~!!

Yummy 2023-09-26 13:30:52

It's really delicious! Even my foreign husband, who has never tried Zicoba Chicken before, loves the taste lol. I find the chicken gets a bit tough when I use an air fryer, so I stir-fry it in a pan instead, and it turns out super tasty. Thanks for the great recipe~~

Park Eun-seo — 2022-04-04 12:48:40

Since I'm abroad, even when I order seasoned fried chicken, it tastes bad because the ketchup is too strong. But now I think I can just make it at home! The chicken shrinks in volume after cooking, so next time I'll order the 6-piece set. Thank you! Oh! The rice cakes were REALLY delicious too! I'll have to add lots of rice cakes next time haha.

Saengdongjang 2022-09-23 12:04:11

Wow, is this even allowed? Haha. My wife loves the seasoning here so much that we made it at home, and now she's asking for it again! Hahaha. It's so delicious, and the taste is so similar you can't even tell the difference. Hehe.

I've tried making this with both chicken intended for spicy braised chicken and chicken thighs, and seriously... it's so delicious^^!! You can't go wrong if you follow that seasoning recipe exactly. I adjusted the sweetness to 1 part erythritol and 2 parts allulose, and it was perfect. Thank you, the seasoning is so tasty~~ I made it with chicken breast and cut the chunks into large pieces, so the seasoning didn't soak in very well, but I think the seasoning would be just right if you cut the chunks into smaller pieces^^ I also added one sliced ​​king oyster mushroom, and even my husband, who doesn't like mushrooms, said it was delicious and ate it well. Thank you, I plan to make it again soon^^ I didn't have ketchup, so instead, I added 1 tablespoon of seasoned fried chicken sauce, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. I made it with three pieces of chicken breast.

It tastes much better than store-bought. Seriously, this is the best recipe. For reference, based on other reviews, I removed 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and added 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and also cut out 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide. I think two 350g packs of chicken thighs would be just right.

round 2021-02-27 19:12:01

I've tried following Zicoba recipes a few times, but they all just tasted like gochujang and weren't very good. However, this recipe is actually quite similar! I think it would be delicious to make rice cake skewers with it instead of chicken! I also think it would be great to make a little more sauce and stir-fry rice with it after eating the chicken!

alsgustj 2026-05-14 21:55:37

I’ve made this recipe exactly three or four times, and my family has always loved it. I served it right away without even tasting it, and they said it was delicious and tasted just like store-bought food. I used flower petals instead of rice cakes, and they are nice and chewy. I used chicken thighs, but they got dry because I cooked them for too long, so next time I’ll have to grill them just right.

Blue Frypan 2021-08-06 13:06:37

I highly recommend this!! Thank you for the great recipe. I really enjoyed it. This was my second attempt, and I can definitely say that taking the time to wok-simmer the chicken while tossing it in the marinade makes it chewier and infuses the flavor more deeply. Since it was 'clearing out the refrigerator' week, I used chicken drumsticks I had at home. I scored the drumsticks and seasoned them lightly with salt while tossing them in oil before baking. I didn't have any rice cakes, so I used gnocchi from the freezer. Of course, it doesn't pair as well as rice cakes, but it made up for it. The taste and results are truly outstanding considering the ingredients and the difficulty of preparation!!

Ooh-hoo-hoo 2024-07-29 14:27:32

This recipe is seriously amazing. I'm sensitive to the fishy smell and fat, so I usually can't eat chicken dishes unless they're Zicoba style, but this recipe seemed promising, so I mustered up the courage to try making it. It is by far the best recipe I've ever attempted! Thank you so much.

BomiUoU 2021-10-02 16:08:26

It's somewhere between Zicoba and seasoned fried chicken in terms of spiciness? The first time I made it for spicy chicken stew, but this time I used only drumsticks. I added a little less oligosaccharide, but it's spicy and so delicious! Even my husband, who can't handle spicy food, likes it. The parts with the skin are the tastiest.

Soda123 2023-05-29 20:39:38

I used two packs of chicken thighs, and I found it just right to use two tablespoons of corn syrup instead of four. I grilled the chicken in the air fryer, and it turned out quite light and flavorful. The seasoning is so delicious; it's also great as a snack with beer.

magenta 2021-08-18 15:27:09

It's delicious! It tastes similar to Zicoba! The key point is to make sure to add plenty of Cheongyang peppers so the chili flavor permeates, and a spoonful of pepper exactly as written in the recipe!!! If you just add a tiny sprinkle of pepper, the taste is completely different. My foreign husband loves it, so I make it often~ Good recipe.

YARR 2025-01-25 18:28:09

It's a bit of a shame that the Cheongyang peppers aren't spicy enough, but it's still delicious~ Next time, I'm going to try using less corn syrup and skipping the 3 parts soy sauce and oyster sauce instead of following the comments. Thanks for the great recipe!

big 2023-08-10 14:33:53

Oh, it's really delicious!!!!! Since I roasted the chicken in the air fryer, it has the texture of oven-baked chicken. My husband can't handle spicy food, so I just put in a little less Cheongyang pepper, but it's still really tasty hehehe. I'll definitely have to make this often next time.

2024-03-27 14:01:33

Just in case, I added two Cheongyang peppers, but I probably could have used all three. If I had followed the recipe exactly, it would have tasted exactly like Zicoban. Still, the kids said it was delicious and ate it well with rice. Next time, I'll try making it again with the Cheongyang peppers according to the recipe. Thank you so much for the recipe! ^^

Roro 2026-06-07 19:59:36

Based on the comments, I used only one clove of garlic and added a tablespoon of oyster sauce to the recipe. My husband dislikes it because he says even a little bit of gochujang makes the tteokbokki taste good, so I used 1/2 tablespoon of gochujang. He gave it a thumbs up! Thanks to you, we really enjoyed it. I'm leaving a comment as a record so I can make it again next time.

Jeongsso 2025-05-07 22:01:42

It didn't taste exactly like Zicoba, but I still enjoyed it! I added two spoons of store-bought minced garlic, and the garlic flavor really stood out. I'm terrible at cooking, so I tried both the air fryer and a frying pan. When using the pan, I wasn't sure if I should use low, medium, or high heat, so the chicken unfortunately ended up sticking to the pan towards the end. I would be very grateful if you could explain it in a bit more detail for a cooking beginner like me! Next time, I plan to try to get the proper Zicoba flavor!

L.S.H.tablet 2022-05-17 21:34:48

It's delicious. I like red peppers, so I added 6 Cheongyang peppers, and following the reviews below, I also added a spoonful of oyster sauce. My husband said it was tasty too and ate the whole thing. However, it was a bit too sweet for our taste, so next time I think I'll either omit the sugar or reduce the corn syrup by about two spoonfuls. Still, it was a fundamentally very tasty recipe.
