NEW Korean Fried Chicken Places In Singapore You Must Try

If we were to write down a list of things the Koreans do well in, fried chicken would certainly rank high in the top 5. There’s just something about the addictive marinade and seasoning that keep our taste buds going back for more.

Nothing beats the feeling of sinking your teeth into piping hot chicken while the aroma lingers in the air. And as we all know, in order to achieve meat perfection, it has to be tender and moist on the inside, but stay completely crisp on the outside.

Fortunately for poultry lovers, our local food scene has seen an influx of Korean fried chicken chains in the recent years. Don’t fight that insatiable craving anymore, here are some new Korean fried chicken places you need to check out this weekend with your family and friends!
