finger lickin' good Korean fried chicken

Koreans consume enormous amount of this specific kind of fried chickens, yang-nyum chicken, during World Cup Soccer seasons. People usually get together and order fried chicken. The chicken vendors deliver the chicken to your house no matter where you live. While cheering up our team in front of TV, we drink beer and eat fried chicken with radish pickles. It's all sticky, gooey and messy. However, I don't think there is a better way than using fingers to eat this chicken. Well, it's definitely finger licking good! It happens sometimes that delivery guys end up joining the crowd in your house to catch up on the game. 

The chicken is fried twice to achieve extra crispness in this recipe.
