Korean Fried Chicken (Two-Two)

Two-Two Chicken

If you have never tried Korean fried chicken, you have got to try the Two-Two fried chicken joint in Korea. Two-Two is supposedly the original and best Korean fried chicken chain. Once you’ve tried it, you will definitely be back for more. Two-Two, is sometimes called by its Korean transliteration, Dul Dul. They have many outlets around Korea, but we tried the one at Myeong-dong.

They have a few types of fried chicken consisting of a few permutations such as regular fried chicken, fried with sweet garlic sauce, half and half, chicken tenders (for the lazy one) and a few local side dishes. I could not decide on which to try and decided to go with the half and half if the regular fried chicken the sweet garlic sauce.

Fried Chicken - Sweet garlic sauce

Fried Chicken - Regular

The regular fried chicken is surprisingly juicy. Their plain fried chicken with optional sauce for dipping is perfect beer chicken. The crust is delicate, almost not-existent. It was well marinated and had crackling crispy skin and surprisingly not to greasy. The meat was juicy on the inside even for the breast meat. The garlic sauce was actually piquant (sweet, salty, garlicky and tangy). The skin was still crispy and drenched with the sauce. Sesame seed was sprinkled on for the extra fragrance. Overall, we preferred the regular fried chicken. So much so that we actually went back one more time on the last day for lunch! Yum Yum!!
