Who doesn’t love fried chicken? Apart from vegans, anyone would be hard-pressed to think of another group of people who don’t eat fried chicken by the bucketful. Since they’re so crispy, juicy, and flavourful; what’s not to love? Out of all the different types of fried chicken, one of the tastiest and most popular has to be Korean fried chicken. Known for its double-frying method resulting in the crispiest skin and tenderest meat, Korean chicken is often slathered in different types of sauce that will make you order a second helping — it’s just too good! Did that craving just hit you? Here are our favourite restaurants selling the best Korean fried chicken in KL and Selangor.
