A new KFC favourite: BB.Q Chicken (Korean Fried Chicken)

BB.Q chicken

It is hard for me to resist Korean Fried Chicken. The thought of biting through the crunchy and juicy chicken goodness already makes me hungry! Recently, the H-mart chain started having the BB.Q stalls in their fast-food sections. Of course, we had to try it and see if it was as yummy as the K-dramas seem to show. It was.

We got half and half of Original (Signature, Golden Olive) and Secret Spicy (which was a sweet and spicy sauce made of tomato, garlic, onion and spices). While each of us had their own favourites, I would say, I like them both. Depends on the mood, I guess.

Half and half: Original and Secret Spicy chicken
The Original had a light-tasting, crunchy yet not so thick breading. The Secret Spicy had a nice blend of sweet and spice, with just the right bite of garlic. Both were juicy inside. The fam wants to try the Hot Spicy next time for a little more heat.

Apparently, what makes it so yummy (and healthy?) is that the chicken is fried in olive oil. I also found out that they were so serious about their chicken that they even have a “Chicken University” in South Korea.  How’s that for dedication? And what is BB.Q? Best of the best quality.

The price was comparable to other KFC that we have tried. It does take about 20 minutes for your order to arrive to be sure to order first.
