Hi! So I just want to review for this restaurant called "BonChon" Located in Centreville, Fairfax, and Annandale in VA. Basically it's a sort of like Popeyes but it's a korean style fried chicken called "Yangnyeom Tongdak" and I believe that Maangchi has made a recipe "how to" on it already! The restaurant is Very good!The chicken is also very good and comes with a few side like pickled radish and such. You can also eat "in" or call! I usually call and you have to PICK-UP the food from the restaurant,(it is not like a Pizza Hut and they deliver!). I don't mind since the food is so Good!! SO basically i recommend this restaurant!

I was in Dubai for three days, now I am back in Pakistan. The wings were very crispy and the chicken was moist. I can see why people love them. I just have to figure out how to make wings that crispy. I also had Jjajangmyun while in Dubai. I can't wait until I go back next month.

I finally had a chance to eat the real Bon Chon wings this week in Dubai. Yes they are really good the crispy skin is what makes them what they are. The sauce is good but my Sticky Soy sauce is better. But that skin is perfect.

I hope you find it tasty! I have tweaked & tweaked a recipe based on the famous chain, Bon Chon Chicken. Not too spicy, not too sweet and definitely lower in fat than the alternatives. Enjoy! Ingredients: (A) 24 Chicken Wing Pieces (cut off excess thick skin/fat) 1 Tablespoon of rice vinegar 1 Teaspoon of salt ½ Teaspoon of black pepper 4 Garlic Cloves (whole) 1 Small onion (whole) (B) Some rice flour/corn starch/potato starch for dredging wings Olive Oil for frying (C) 2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce 4 Tablespoons of Rice Vinegar 3 Tablespoons of Koh Chu Jang (hot red pepper paste) 1 Teaspoon of Koh Chu Garu (hot red pepper flakes) 1 Teaspoon of Tobasco 4 Garlic Cloves (minced) 1 Teaspoon Ginger (minced & mashed) 3 Tablespoons of honey 1 Tablespoon of Dark brown sugar Directions: 1) Clean the wings in cold water and then soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes, drain and repeat 2 times. 2) In the meantime, bring a pot of water to boil and add in all the “A” ingredients. Boil for 5 minutes. 3) Add the chicken wings to the pot and boil until the meat is cooked (do not over cook). 4) Drain the wings in a colander and then rinse with cold water. 5) Put about 1 cup of rice flour in a plastic bag/Ziploc and 6 wings at a time and lightly dredge the wings. Repeat until all wings are very lightly coated. Add more rice flour if necessary. Set aside. 6) Heat up the olive oil for frying. 7) In a sauce pan, add all the “C” ingredients. Simmer until sauce thickens (about 5-10 minutes). Should not be too thick, about the consistency of maple syrup. 8) Fry the wings until crisp & golden brown. 9) Drain wings on paper towel then put in a large mixing bowl with lid. 10) Add the sauce a tablespoon at a time, putting the lid on and shaking the wings to coat. Note that a little sauce goes a long way. 11) Sprinkle a little bit of roasted sesame seeds/finely chopped spring onion if you want, serve and enjoy. Notes: * The boiling process with “A” ingredients drains all the fat and cooks the chicken through so that frying time is reduced. It is also the reason why the skin of the chicken becomes paper thin and very crispy. * This recipe is for medium “heat”. If you want full spice, omit the soy sauce, add in an additional Tablespoon of Koh Chu Jang & another 1 Teaspoon of Tobasco. * Goes well with “Mul Kim Chee” or “Dak wan” and a side of coleslaw (shredded cabbage, carrot, white radish, apple…dress with Thousand Island Dressing or a yogurt based dressing).

I've been to this spot too a couple weeks ago. I have to say I didn't like the kfc so much. It was crispy but the sauce wasn't mixed very well. I like the other bonchon place on 5th Ave and 32nd St. Its not called bonchon anymore but they still serve up good kfc. One good thing about Boka tho is that they serve Makgeolli!! I think the light and cool taste goes well with spicy chicken.

I went to Boka on St. Marks recently and it was really great. The ambiance is kind of that of a chic-ish pub and the wait staff is all friendly and helpful. My friend and I got the hot (spicy) fried chicken combo and bulgogi. The chicken was clearly the star of the restaurant, the skin was perfectly crispy and the sauce coating wasn't as sticky as some other chicken places can be. Everyone around us was ordering plates and plates of fried chicken. The bulgogi was also pretty good, the meat wasn't dry and it was perfectly cooked. My two qualms with the restaurant were that it was pretty expensive and that they didn't seem to have a lot of items that were listed on the menu. But, I guess that is to expected in Manhattan. Just make sure that you have some back-ups for what you want to order! The beer selection wasn't that large but the prices were pretty good. They had a lot of mixed drinks available and some other drink choices like plum wine and shoju. This seems like a good place to come late at night and have a drink with friends and split some chicken wings. Address: 9 St. Marks Place (between 3rd and 2nd Ave.)
