Two things I don't like about Korean fried chicken:
- Some places don't seem to marinade the meat enough, so the tasty fried skin is met with bland white meat inside; and
- Many places consider the drumette and flats to be separate pieces, while Southern fried chicken places consider the entire wing as one piece.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoYou first points is not a property of the food style, just bad cooking.
- ValentineC 6y agoThe bland meat seems to be endemic among Korean fried chicken places here (and I'm talking chain restaurants, which are supposed to be more consistent) — I'm not sure if it's the food style or cooking skill.
- dzhiurgis 6y agoI've tried Korean fried chicken quite few times and I was disappointed. We even supposedly have quite a bit of good Korean restaurants here, but alas KFC or even air-fried frozen chicken always won me.
- Larrikin 6y agoWhat city have you tried it in? Its relatively new in the US and it was becoming trendy so there are a lot of places that still do a pretty bad job since most people don't have a baseline. Its basically like sushi 15 years ago. So far in Chicago, I've only found one place that comes close to what I had in Tokyo's Koreatown (which admittedly isn't actually Korea)
- dzhiurgis 6y agoAuckland, NZ. Plenty of good (and cheap btw) Korean food here. Just not fried chicken. Or Vietnamese.

- dzhiurgis 6y agoI remember going to place perhaps right next to it was being unimpressed for countless time. Might try soon! Though whenever I'm in CBD I go to Boracay Garden - filipino food was my biggest discovery in NZ (admittedly it's only two same dishes - pork sisig and chicken adobo).
