Korean fried chicken is a real god! The cheese powder is very large š§
š BBQ Chicken (Allston): Bostonās Beloved Korean Fried ChickenāWorth the Hype, Even Dine-In As a long-time Boston local, Iām ashamed to say this was my first time eating BBQ Chicken in person (always ordered delivery before). Shock: The dine-in experience is just as good as takeoutāand thatās a huge compliment. Letās be clear: This is Bostonās unofficial king of Korean fried chicken (sorry, other spots). š The Chicken: Why Itās a Legend Cheesling Wings š§āØ ā¢ My all-time favorite. Crunchy, golden wings dusted with a thick layer of sweet, milky cheese powderāso much, it coats your lips (thatās the magic). ⢠Inside? Juicy, tender, and perfectly cookedāno dryness here. The cheese-sweet crust + moist meat combo is unbeatable. Spicy Original Wings š¶ļø ⢠A close second: Sticky, sweet-spicy sauce that tastes 70-80% like classic Chinese spicy wings (but with a Korean twist). ⢠Mild heat, big flavorāswapping bites with cheesling wings? Chefās kiss (sweet + spicy = eternal perfection). š„ Beyond Chicken: The Mini Army Stew Their (solo-sized) (budae jjigae) is a solid side: Packed with chicken, ham, instant noodles, and kimchi, in a rich, savory broth. Only downside: Itās on the salty sideābut pair it with the rice on the side, and it balances out. Perfect if you crave something hearty alongside your chicken (no need to share!). š Why It Works Dine-In vs. Delivery: Crispiness holds up surprisingly well in takeout, but thereās something about hot, fresh wings straight from the fryer. Value: ~$30-35/person (plenty of food, even for big appetites). Vibe: Casual, no-fussāgreat for quick lunches, late dinners, or post-night-out munchies. #BostonKorean #FriedChicken #BBQChicken #BostonEats
