Fried chicken has been a super popular Korean dish for generations already, with the diversity growing. What's the one thing you can't have chicken without? Beer! This delicious but deadly promotion is not for those on a diet.

The floors are not sticky or slippery and the tables are not greasy. The big windowed main doors make it a very nice and inviting place at daytime, perfect for a date.
[What about the Kitchen?]
OFC was confident enough to let us shoot the kitchen, which says a lot about the way they maintain it
[Chicken is all about the batter and oil!]
In Korea, good fried chicken is immediately recognizeable from the freshness of the chicken and the oil. Some restaurants that re-use oil are instantly marked as no good by internet users. We're glad to say that OFC is a different story. The owner chef showed us directly how every piece of OFC chicken is made. Even showing us the oils used, the boss was confident that the diligence would be noticeable in the taste. OFC signature crispy seasoned batter
Tapping the chicken to make sure that the batter isn't too thick and chunky.

[Yangnyum sauce]
There is always a debate between original crispy fried chicken vs the sweet spicy yangnyum sauce.
OFC makes the debate even tougher by providing the best quality for both types.
In true OFC fashion, they upgrade the flavor of yangnyum chicken by dunking the chicken into the sauce, rather than just glazing it.
This unique technique really brought out the flavor of the yangnyum sauce in every bite.
