Celebrate Octoburrrr with Korean Fried Chicken

I donated all my sweaters last year.
Ok, that's an exaggeration, I donated all but 2 of my sweaters last year. Sure sure, I don't NEED many sweaters but I don't find the 2 I saved to be all that comfy. Why did I get rid of the comfy ones? Wait a minute... did Mister throw them in the bag? Hmmm
I'm going to try Maangchi's recipe for fried chicken, actually, not sure if I'm going to make the spicy or the sweet. Check out her blog/video series, it is adorable and very informative. Not to mention everything looks so tasty:

So, there's your recipe for today.
CHEATER! THIEF!
Yes, yes I am. Not feeling so hot today, I think I have a lack of caffeine headache. It will NOT go away. I'll let you know how the chicken turns out when I make it. In the meantime- stay head ache free :)
