Their signature fried chicken flavor is the “American-style.” It offers the most authentic, classic taste – thin, crispy skin with zero greasy aftertaste. One bite gives a satisfying crunch, and the juicy flavor bursts in your mouth. The crispiness and natural sweetness of the meat have you reaching for piece after piece!

The charcoal-grilled fried chicken is brushed with a thick layer of sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The first bite brings out the flavor of the sauce, followed by the natural umami of the chicken. When the sweet richness of the meat meets the savory, rich sauce, it creates an unforgettable flavor explosion. The Korean-style fried chicken offers yet another distinct taste. Different from both American and charcoal styles, it’s coated in bright red Korean-style sauce that’s aromatic but not spicy, leaning more toward a sweet flavor. Fried chicken lovers, you absolutely can’t miss these three flavors!
