This South Korean restaurant is known for its delicious Korean spiced fried chicken. Unlike most fried chicken, Kyochon's flagship fried chicken has a shiny outer layer (skin). Why? The secret is in rubbing the secret spices before and after frying the chicken. Kyochon fried chicken itself comes in three flavors (sauce), namely Original (savory), Red Series (spicy), and Honey Series (sweet, savory).
Even though it looks shiny, the texture of the skin is quite crunchy when bitten and not too oily. To complete the fried chicken dish, you must order a menu that is no less delicious, such as Chicken Cutlet Bibimbap, Spicy Chicken Bulgogi, or Kyochon's Toppoki with Special Spicy Sweet Sauce. You can enjoy everything at quite affordable prices, starting from IDR 49,000 to IDR 179,000 (for one whole chicken).
