6. Chicken Up
Korean fried chicken has cemented its place in the Hallyu revolution, and fans of the crispy treat have had good cause to rejoice since the introduction of Chicken Up. Moist, tender, and coated with that addictive thin, crunchy, less greasy coating, Chicken Up’s exact technique is a closely guarded secret.
While the classic version holds a special place in our hearts (and stomachs), those who enjoy a little spice should head straight for their signature Spicy Up and the milder, sweeter YangNyum style. Fried chicken in Korea is often accompanied by alcohol beverages but those not looking to take advantage of the restaurant’s beer and soju offerings can easily content themselves with a traditional bingsu dessert instead.
