In this episode of Zeene's Epic Eatz I do a Korean Fried Chicken crawl around the San Francisco Bay Area and try versions of (the other) KFC at local shop ChiMek and international sensation BonChon. These crispy wings and drumsticks have a thin, crunchy shell glazed with yummy Korean flavors like soy garlic ("gangjeong") and spicy gochujang ("yangnyeom"). We discuss how it's cooked differently from the original Southern Fried Chicken. It's finger-lickin' good!
