Bonchon’s Korean BBQ Sauce Fried Hen options any of their Korean fried rooster choices (wings, boneless, or strips) brushed with new Korean BBQ Sauce, which is described as a mixture of “gochujang, rice vinegar, and brown sugar, with the flavors of garlic and sake balanced with candy pear.”
I paid $8.50 for 3 fried rooster drumsticks and a facet of steamed rice.
Bonchon’s Korean BBQ Sauce is pretty gentle in comparison with their Spicy and Soy Garlic sauces. It supplied a barely funky gochujang (Korean pink chili paste) base with a lightweight sweetness and only a contact of tanginess and spicy warmth. They really brush the sauce on so that there is a skinny, even coat on all the drumstick. It wasn’t all that salty in order that I ended up consuming the rice with one thing else.
The crust on the rooster was paper-thin however so crispy that it nearly cracks everytime I bit into it.
Nonetheless, the rooster inside, whereas tender and juicy, might have used some marinating or brining because it was a bit bland.
Total, Bonchon’s Korean BBQ Sauce Fried Hen supplied a pleasant however mellow taste and a satisfying crunch however I want the chain’s different punchier flavors.
