Tenafly, NJ
Unidentified Flying Chickens is one of the Korean fried chicken chains that have broken into the New Jersey market. The Korean-style of fried chicken is way different than American-style fried chicken. It is made fresh to order, so there is quite a wait (fifteen to thirty minutes), but the results are worth it. There is usually no batter or outside layer, apart from a thin slick of sauce that is painted at the end of the cooking process. Some places advertise that the chicken that they use is fresh and never frozen. In general, DJKung finds the Korean fried chicken genre as lighter, tastier, and very very addictive.
DJKung was keen to see where Unidentified Fried Chicken stacked up on his fried chicken list. His pops also came with us to share his opinion.
The store is located in a quiet downtown section in Tenafly, and was actually one of the few stores on the strip that had customers. As we waited for our chicken, there was constant flow of people ordering take-out.Unlike Boom Boom and Bon Chon Chicken, Unidentified Fried Chickens' menu goes beyond fried chicken. It offers hamburgers, hot dogs and a few sides, including macaroni salad and green salad. Today, we were here to try the chicken, though.
French fries.
DJKung ordered the sweet and spicy (left) and the garlic soy sauce (right) chicken. Since it is freshly fried, he and his dad had to be really careful not the burn their tongues!
The verdict? DJKung felt that the chicken and the sauce was not quite as flavorful as the competition's. The chicken was nice and crispy, but was a tad oily. He gave it a five on his fried chicken scale.
