BON BON CHICKEN: SFO-NY-SFO in 15 minutes!!!…read more
Ever since my first experience with Bon Bon Chicken (Korean Fried Chicken) in NYC two years ago, I became obsessed with chicken wings. If wings were on the menu, I had to order it. It was so bad that I had one of my friends be my D.W.S aka Designated Wing Stopper on the weekends to avoid drunk eating.
When I was grocery shopping in Kukje Supermarket yesterday, I noticed that there was new Bon Bon chicken stand inside called, Only Chicken. Of course, it
was calling my name... :X
Only Chicken makes your wings-to-order which takes 10-15 minutes. They also have packaged ones sitting under the heat lamp. Order your wings-to-order, TRUST ME.

With the owner's recommendation, I decided to order the Spicy Wings - Hot Spicy as he said it was the Korean Style Bon Bon chicken.
For those who are familiar with CocoBang's Chicken Wings, the Spicy Wings - Hot Spicy is very similar except these wings are much BETTER! If you're not, then you're probably familiar with San Tung's famous "crack" wings. They are similarly fried, but instead of being tossed in a glaze, the "Hot Spicy" wings are tossed in a thick korean hot sauce. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vQPe9CHILZ8OBZkQGNjJnw?select=mdAu2SdM91KNX8d7aEWpMw
The MOUTH-WATERING Spicy Wings - Hot Spicy are the closest chicken wings to the Bon Bon Chicken Wings I've had in NYC. The huge wings are fried to a crunchy crisp (non-greasy) and tossed in a rich, tangy, and spicy sauce with a slight garlicky sweetness. They're so incredibly tender and succulent that juices oozed out of the wings as I took each bite!
I'm spicy food lover, and the "Hot Spicy" was more like a mild medium to me. As you take a bite, you can feel a slight tingle of heat hit your palate, but it quickly dissapates after several seconds. The only drawback is once the wings start to cool, they absorb the hotsauce and loses its crispiness. So make sure to devour them piping hot!
Being able to get my Bon Bon Chicken FIX with a quick 10 min drive to Daly City? Very, very dangerous...
