The batter on the chicken was thicker than on most chicken wings, like a tempura batter. Note the cool tin foil divider! Both sauces were heavy on garlic and sesame seeds. Neither of those had much chance of being touched. Right before the chicken arrived, the cashier delivered a bowl of cabbage salad (ban chan) and a bowl of pickled radishes. All of the signs on the wall were predominantly in Korean – I can see why one of the reviews I found on Yelp recommended going with a friend who spoke the language (or renting someone who did ). It made me wish I could understand what was being said, or that I could read the subtitles (which appeared to be in another Asian language).
#Korean fried chicken duluth tv
The tv was on a Korean channel playing a show involving two men taking their kids out chestnut (the cashier thinks they were chestnuts) hunting (while wearing pots and pans strapped onto their head with strips of cloth) and lots of sound effects. The only other diners were five twenty-something women carrying on a loud and lively conversation in Korean while eating pizza and wings. While I waited (and since it is apparently cooked to order, I waited a while ), I took in my surroundings. I originally ordered popcorn chicken, thinking it would be less messy, but the owner / cashier (whose English was infinitely better than my Korean) came to the table and told me they were out of the popcorn, so I reverted to wings – half sweet and mild and half at level three.
The chicken is available with four sauce choices ranging from “sweet and mild” to “very hot”. The menu is predominantly picture based and features: whole, half and quarter fried chickens wings and popcorn chicken (thighs cut into bite size pieces) and pizzas. It turns out that CheoGaJip is a franchise of a Korean chain of fried chicken and pizza restaurants. Walking in, I was faced with (really) high backed booths lining both walls and a counter fronting the kitchen in the back right corner. Driving through the parking lot, I saw CheoGaJip and thought “what the heck.” Since I was on my own and already contemplating Asian food, I headed toward Assi Plaza on Old Peachtree Road to see what I might find. My original plan for lunch today was to meet some fellow food bloggers at Tempo Doeloe, but the timing stars did not align, so I was forced to regroup.
