One thing Korea has absolutely nailed is Korean fried chicken and a must visit is Kyochon Pilbang in Itaewon where the non-descript entrance had us walking past a few times before we spotted a giant paintbrush that you have to pull to enter.

Walk through paint brush filled lobby and into the main dining room where there’s a paintbrush feature swirling in mysterious smoke and is meant to symbolize how much care the restaurant puts into each brush stroke of sauce.

To test this we have ordered the signature chicken platter which comes with different sauces we can paint onto the chicken. I love this concept because I hate how sometimes the sauce can be too overpowering or just too much of it which makes the chicken soggy before I’m ready to eat The chicken was incredible, super juicy and tender and with the most earth shatteringly crisp skin. I loved the honey butter sauce the most for that sweet and salty kick followed by the spicy chilli which had a decent level of burning. And of course what is a meal of fried chicken without some beer to wash it all down.
