They use peanut oil, which doesn't burn at high temperatures, so the you never get that bitter taste, as you do with KFC, Mary Brown, and everywhere else.

Best chicken in the city IMO. Halal as well for the Moslems that enjoy chicken too.

But yea,. its all about the oil and the care they put into making your meal.

KFC, Mary Browns, Chicken on the way, is all catch and miss depending on the timing, mood of employees, when they changed oil last.. etc.

Fritao, is always the same. Locale is ghetto, but stay in and eat your chicken. Fresh food FTW

I gotta try this sometime, I've heard its fantastic, as they have a spicy coating!

You guys need to try Bonchon or Mad chick in NYC lol... but in all seriousness, both of those are "mediocre" conventional fried chicken with a Kimchi sauce.

The place that I like, is a ghetto chain called: great canadian pizza & fried chicken on 8th ave by Crack Macs

It seriously is better than Chicken/Churches/KFC by far...

There's BonChon in the Philippines... It's meh.

Peanut oil, eh? Might try that.

Canola doesn't burn as much either or am I crazy?

That's what I thought, but it's Calgary, so I don't think we'll be getting good Korean chicken yet. At least we have decent Korean BBQ now (Insadong.. haha).

Fuck, I just Googled Bonchon in NYC, looks BOMB

There is a place in Ogden, on ogdan rd that pressure deep fries chicken. It's super good.
The place is a total dive, but good chicken.
I forget the name.

- CotW
- Mary Browns
- Fritou

I like Olive Chicken. Didn't really like the sweet & sour though. I prefer just the normal fried chicken.

Wow Chicken is pretty similar to Olive Chicken. They also have more flavors to choose from.

Tried Mary Browns on Blackfoot.. eh.
KFC .. eh

Corn fritters? Make your own so much better! Get some corn niblets and a basic fritter batter. Toss a pot on the stove and cook em yourself.. mmmmmmmm

I tried Chicken on the Way recently, the Kensington one. It was absolutely disgusting. The fries were so greasy they were extremely wet, and would drip if you held them up for more than a second. The corn fritter was the same, so greasy I couldn't even eat it, and I enjoy greasy food once in a while. It was honestly inedible. The chicken skin was gross, and equally as greasy. I peeled the skin off the chicken and just ate the meat, I couldn't eat anything else. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day but I'll never be back, it was actually inedible unless you wanted to simply drink a cup of pure grease.

KFC is still plenty greasy, but not NEARLY that bad.

Chicken on the way is awesome, until they wrap it up and the steam from the hot food runions the crispyness of the chicken and fries.

ask them not to wrap it up next time

The thing about yum yum chicken in Airdrie is they make every order fresh to order

[sexualbanana]

I wish our KFCs had extra crispy.

While I know it doesn't help right now, Anju had (and will have) some of the best KFC I've ever had. It was located on the west side of downtown but closed in June so that the chef, Roy Oh, could relocate to a better location. The plan is to reopen in early 2014, however, Roy is collaborating with various restaurants in the meantime. He's put on Sunday Dinner at Model Milk and has collaborated with the Cheezy Business food truck as well.

His gojuchang wings are incredible.

Tried it a few weeks back, surprisingly good actually. Tried the original wings and the spicy chicken breasts, both were very good. The breast meat was juicy and tender and the wings are just the right size. The batter is a bit on the heavy side so I would definitely recommend going with a couple friends to try everything out.

JUST Tried YumYum in Airdrie and their spicy chicken is surprisingly good. Very crispy outside and juicy inside. Their Shallot chicken is a bit dry side for my liking but still taste better than other places.

Not NEARLY as greasy as KFC? How is that even possible?

With that being said, I hope KFC comes out with a super hot version of their grease. I'd be all over that
