Sizzling Korean fire chicken melt brings fiery flavors dancing across your plate, blending spicy protein with sweet corn’s gentle embrace. Crispy edges and molten cheese create an irresistible fusion that satisfies your craving for bold, authentic Korean street-style comfort.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Meat:

  • 1 batch Korean fire chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Bread and Base:

  • 4 burger buns or sandwich rolls (gluten-free if needed)

Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Activate the oven broiler to high heat, positioning the rack approximately 4 inches from the heating element.
  2. Gently coat the interior of each bun with a delicate layer of butter, then transform them to a golden, crispy texture under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Warm the Korean fire chicken in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s evenly heated throughout approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Arrange the heated chicken on the toasted bottom bun halves, creating a robust protein foundation.
  5. Generously scatter shredded mozzarella cheese and sweet corn kernels across the chicken, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Transfer the open-faced sandwiches into the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until the cheese melts into a luxurious, bubbling layer.
  7. Extract the sandwiches from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped green onions, adding a vibrant, aromatic finish.
  8. Spread a creamy mayonnaise layer on the top bun halves, then carefully unite the sandwich components.
  9. Serve piping hot, allowing the melted cheese and spicy chicken to tantalize the taste buds immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by selecting milder or hotter Korean fire chicken based on personal heat tolerance.
  • Swap mozzarella with vegan cheese alternatives for dairy-free diets, ensuring similar melting properties.
  • Customize corn by using fresh, frozen, or grilled corn kernels to enhance texture and sweetness.
  • Experiment with additional toppings like pickled jalapeños or crispy onions for extra crunch and flavor complexity.
