"Chimmelier stands out in Koreatown, and not just because of the red-and-yellow artwork that looks like it belongs at a USC tailgate. This small shop by the Jilli people goes extra-bold in its fried chicken seasoning, including one with a dry rub so spicy that it’s actually better sandwiched with slaw and buttery buns to cool it down (the Buldak Chicken Sando). The saucy wings come with thick glazes like galbi, honey butter, or gochujang that cling to your fingers, or you can order the regular fried chicken and dip it into kimchi thousand island or dashi aioli." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
