Kid Hit Menu Items: KyoChon chicken emporium brings out the worst type of hypocrite in us. While we’re not a boneless-battered-and-fried-chicken-strip household, I generally try not to order nuggets and stuff when we’re out. (Mac n’ cheese, however, is another story.) We’re guilty of engaging in foodist high horse shenanigans; generally avoiding fast food, dragging our kids to farmers’ markets, steering them away from the Lunchables, etc. But when it comes to KyoChon Korean chicken, which appears to be too busy to build a proper website, we’re unabashed die-hard fans. Boxes of Salsal chicken strips – 10 pieces in a medium size; just enough for the boys’ dinner and maybe some lunch – are a triumph of recipe engineering and packaging design. Sometimes our oldest will nibble on a honey wing or two. I used to skip the dipping sauces, but he’s has a recent deepening relationship with ranch dressing. I try to make my own from scratch; it’s NOT the same, I’m told.
Adult Perks: The Korea-based chain is mostly known for its wings, less for the strips. It’s not about fancy trappings or special beverages here on 6th Street a couple blocks east of Western. If you want beer to complement the spicy signature wings, you’ll have to take packages home in glossy white bags. [click to continue…]
