Fried Chicken

The kind of fried chicken served at KFC had its roots in Scotland, before it appeared in Kentucky.

Yes. I am psychic. I thought to myself: What is @neo thinking? How can I torment him with cravings? Seeing deep into your soul with my psychic powers, I made a post about KFC in order to do that.

Popeyes is better, unless you are in Korea.

andrew said...

Popeyes has shrimp too.

I prefer Korean-style fried chicken to U.S. style fried chicken, but that has only been available in Denver at locations that I am aware of for a few years.

neo said...

"are there any Korean-style fried chicken chain in us?" Yes. Several. Bonchon is my current favorite, but there are maybe 17 Korean-style fried chicken chains in Denver including "bb. q", "Mono Mono", "KKoki Korean BBQ", "Cupbop", "CM Chicken", "Dae Gee", "Angry Chicken", "Yong gung", "Baek ga", "Chilgogi", "Funny Plus", "Mrs. Kim", "Bop and Gogi", "Thank Sool", "Wo Ri", and "K Pocha". This kind of restaurant is called a "Chimeck" restaurant (Chi for chicken, and Meck for Meck Jew which is Korean for beer, so "chicken and beer" restaurant).
"what does it taste like" Crunchier, but "cleaner" than extra crispy KFC. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7L42DJso2w Lots of Asian-style seasonings too like garlic and soy sauce, and Korean-BBQ sauce.

maybe I should move to Denver lol. what are prices, as KFC offers $4.99. is it served with rice like a Panda Express or french fries and coke?

andrew said...

Prices vary widely. More than KFC. Less than dinner at a steak house or fancy restaurant. Often, similar to fast casual dining places like Chipotle and Noodles or Smash Burger. It is not generally served with rice or fries, but is often served with banchan, pronounced "bonchon" (Korean side dishes), like kimchee and pickled radishes. Usually, drinks are sold separately (most people get beer or soju, rather than soda), although I'm sure that some of them have meal deals (obviously, I haven't tried them all).
