Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Activate the oven broiler to high heat, positioning the rack approximately 4 inches from the heating element.
- 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.
- Warm the Korean fire chicken in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s evenly heated throughout approximately 3-4 minutes.
