IN SOUTH KOREA, SEO PERFECTED THE

TECHNIQUE USED FOR BONCHON CHICKEN.

IN THIS METHOD, MUCH OF THE FAT UNDER THE SKIN IS RENDERED OUT DURING

THE FRYING PROCESS, MAKING IT PAPER-THIN AND

LEAN, BUT EXTRA CRISPY AND JUICY.

IN ADDITION TO CHICKEN WINGS, DRUMSTICKS

AND STRIPS, BONCHON ALSO OFFERS A SAVORY

SELECTION OF ASIAN FUSION CUISINE.
