Korean Fried Chicken
Korean Fried Chicken is genuinely in a class of its own when it comes to frying chicken. I learned about this experience a few years ago when I wasn’t on a ketogenic lifestyle. Korean Fried Chicken was brand new to me, and I couldn’t believe what I was missing out on. The first place I had Korean fried chicken was Bon Chon’s restaurant. This was in 2016 on my 26th birthday. It was random because, at the time, I needed to come up with a place to eat out for my birthday, and I had tried everything in the books. Bonchon Looked Interesting enough to try, so we gave it a shot. The restaurant was a great experience, and I loved the food. The Korean fried chicken came in various flavors, soy garlic and spicy.
The spicy version stole the show, in my opinion, since the spice profile was once I’ve never experienced. It was almost like a sweet and tangy flavor, except I constantly had to decide which flavor was more dominating. The soy garlic flavor was so delicious, like wow, that was a flavor I could eat all day. Tangy, sticky, and full of flavor, I asked for more sauce and couldn’t get it. The reason was that at Bonchon, they brush their sauce on each chicken by hand. That tells me that their sauce is made from scratch daily, or their sauce isn’t made for dipping. I fell in love that day, and my quest for a Keto Korean Fried Chicken would soon come to be.
