Taking a break from European cuisine, I'd like to introduce a Korean chicken based dish known as Buldak. Directly translating into "fire chicken", this is not for the feint-hearted and even some spicy loving Koreans will shy away from its extremeness. The sauce is what makes this terrifying as it is made from a special chili powder gochukkaru, gochujang chili paste and not to mention a cheongyang pepper. To assist in quelling the heat, it is usually served with steamed egg casserole and a diner's choice of Korean alcoholic beverage.
For a reason I'll never understand, people would seek out this food as a means of relieving stress resulting in it being a popular pick during the economic recession. Although most of the popularity at the time was likely attributed to the expiration of the patent that protected its recipe back in April of 2008.
