behold the awesomeness of kfc - korean fried chicken

kfc no longer refers to the colonel's chicken...it now stands for my new favorite trend since the frozen yogurt craze of summer '08...KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. i've tried two places..kyochon chicken (in the freshia market on beach/garden grove blvd.) & BBQ - "Best of the Best Quality" (on beach/malvern) i like both but BBQ is the winner for me...and also my destination for today.















so i was getting my car serviced at toyota & decided to drop by BBQ in buena park since it was so close. if you are not aware of the korean fried chicken trend, you should be!! it's some darn good chicken even though it's expensive. apparently it's fried in olive oil...so pricey as it is, it's not greasy and doesn't taste artery-clogging although it probably is. =)
















my favorite is the teri-q gold wings...fried wings that are drenched in garlic & soy/teriyaki sauce. the smell of garlic absolutely permeates my car when i take it home. =) i also like their standard bb wings (with the slightest bit of kick ala kentucky's hot wings), the olive oil chicken (crunchy, non-greasy & reminiscent of popeye's or kentucky's extra crispy). i also tried their spicy barbeque chicken...good & hot like ayce korean bbq. they also have rice, french fries & duk bokki (?) which is like pieces of chewy rice pieces in a sauce (i likey)















despite the deliciousness, i found some flaws in their spelling & geography skills. notice that it says "BBQ Chicken - Fulluerton"...spelling the city wrong is just silly BUT misspelling the city that they are not located in is even sillier. =) they are in buena park. maybe it's karma getting back at them because they force their employees to wear all pink outfits and aprons there.
