Bangin' chicken at Bon Chon

Bo Chon

Leonia, NJ 07605 (other locationa available)

I suppose the word is already out on Korean-style fried chicken. . . the last time we were here, there were quite a few groups of Filipino kids munchin' on the Bon Chon.

So is this a fad, or is this good chicken?  Korean-style fried chicken is reportedly an improvement over regular fast food fried chicken in that the chickens they use are fresh and never frozen.  The chickens are fried twice (in peanut oil, methinks); the second round of frying only occurs when the order is placed, so the chickens come out nice and fresh.  The chickens then get a thin paint of sauce (your choice of garlic or sweet and spicy) right before they are served.

Out of all the other Korean-style fried chicken joints he's tried, DJKung definitely likes Bon Chon the best, giving it a nine out of ten on his fried chicken scale.




There are not a lot of veggie options.  You can get french fries or some radish pickles.  The pickles are cold, sweet and crunchy.
