Let the oil temperature return to 350 degrees F. Remove to a rack set on a baking sheet to drain. Fry the wings until the coating is crisp but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the wings from sticking.

Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a temperature between 300 and 325 degrees F. Then, using tongs, hold the chicken halfway in the hot oil for 1 to 2 seconds before letting go completely, as this prevents the wings from sticking to the bottom.

Remove about a third of the chicken wings from the soju marinade and dip in the batter, letting any excess drip off.

If needed, add more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the batter. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water and whisk until the batter is smooth and very thin (about the consistency of half-and-half).

Whisk the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.

Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.

For the batter: Fill a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with 3 to 4 inches of oil.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. For the sauce: Meanwhile, combine the gochujang, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, gochugaru, garlic and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat.Toss to coat, then set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature. For the marinade: Combine the chicken wings, garlic, ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl and pour the soju over the wings.Transfer to a wire rack to drain as done. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes per batch. Suspend the chicken in the oil for a couple of seconds for it to set before letting it slip completely into the oil, otherwise the chicken will fall and stick to the bottom of the pot. Working in 2 batches, dip each piece of chicken into the batter, letting excess batter drip off.The consistency should be relatively thin and runny. Just before frying, whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the water, vodka and chile paste. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, matzo meal, flour, chile flakes, salt, garlic granules, onion granules and baking powder.Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reads 350 degrees F. For the batter: Pour enough oil into a 6-quart Dutch oven to reach a depth of 2 inches.Bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat and set aside. Mix the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water and whisk into the sauce. For the sweet soy sauce: Heat the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, chile flakes and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved allow to simmer for 3 minutes.Lower to a simmer and allow to cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. For the gochujang sauce: Combine the brown sugar, chile paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a saucepan and bring to a boil.Transfer the chicken to a rack, shaking the chicken well to get rid of any excess coating.

Add the chicken and toss well until evenly coated in all areas.

For the pre-coating: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, baking powder and pepper.

Leave at room temperature, covered, for 24 hours.

For the pickled radish cubes: Combine the rice vinegar, water, superfine sugar and salt in a large bowl, whisking until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
