BBQ CHICKEN – Korean
Korea's biggest fried-chicken export landed in Tampa with the whole playbook intact: chicken fried in small batches to order, K-pop on the speakers, pickled radish on the side. The company began in Seoul in 1995 and its name is shorthand for best of the best quality. The flavour list rewards indecision, so bring friends: Golden Original, Soy Garlic, Honey Garlic, Hot Spicy, Secret Sauce, Galbi, Spicy Galbi, Gangnam Style, Gang-Jeong, Cheesling. Beyond the bird there is ddeok-bokki in chilli reduction, kimchi fried rice, fried dumplings, onion rings, cheese sticks, cheesling fries and sweet potato fries. Whole chicken, wings or boneless.
