Kyochon Chicken

"Korean fried chicken enthusiasts have long debated the superior of two popular franchises: Bonchon or Kyochon? Our pick between the two is Kyochon, a counter-service Korean chain spot serving light and airy chicken wings on W 6th Street in Ktown. The standout element of Kyochon’s chicken wings is the crispy batter— a thick coating of crackly skin that holds its crunchy texture under a spicy soy garlic glaze. We also like that Kyochon’s wings are on the smaller side, which makes taking down a 10-piece order less daunting. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox

"LOS ANGELES The superior wing category in LA will always be Korean fried chicken: crunchy, twice-fried, and pummeled with spicy soy-garlic glaze. Of all the greats, Kyochon is our desert island pick. The skin on their wings holds its craggy texture under the sop of sauce, and we also like that these are on the smaller side, so you can down a 10-piece order like you're a sea lion at feeding time. Conveniently, that's exactly how you'll eat them at 1am when you’re out in Koreatown." - carlo mantuano, team infatuation

"Wings may well be the ultimate snack food for game days. They’re portable, crispy, salty, and work for groups both large and small — so why not pick up a bucket for some at-home World Series viewing tonight? Kyochon. 3833 6th Street., Koreatown. —Farley Elliott" - Matthew Kang
