Only Chicken

So I came upon this place since Bön Chon was closed on Tuesdays and I’m sure glad I found this place. I am a big fan of fried chicken; especially Asian fried chicken –notably Korean. I didn’t know what to expect actually since I have only heard the name of this place and seen some photos on Unilocal,but nothing much. Fingers crossed that it was good. So I came with a friend of mine to get some chicken, and to my surprise it was in the Kuje Super Market (Korean Supermarket) that I visit from time to time but have never noticed. It’s just a small restaurant front inside the market.
I ordered the original and the soy sauce variants offered. The price was alright in my opinion (12 pieces for $ 13). The soy sauce is a must. I am used to Korean fried chicken (KFC) from 99 Chicken and Bön Chon; however, this place def does fare well with those established restaurants. The chicken is medium to juicy for the meat, and they do give you dipping sauce for the regular fried chicken. I reckon the KFC would be great for parties, friend outings, with rice, and with drinks (beer, soju, etc.). There are also party trays you can buy in bulk, 25+ wings for regular fried or flavored.
The somewhat downside I could find with this place is that there wasn’t a place to eat. So this isn’t a place you would go and sit down and eat (then again, it’s a store inside a supermarket… would be much better to enjoy elsewhere). So you would have to take it home to enjoy –not to worry though since the fried chicken does stay crispy for awhile (the chicken was in the box for a good 25 min but still crispy, must be due to the store owner letting the chicken cool for a bit before closing the box… he def knows what he is doing with the fried chicken).
All in all, I would def go to this place again. I like the store owner as he was nice since it was my first time ordering, and the chicken is good. Recommend!

Had garlic and spicy fried chicken wings here the first time and it tasted great. Came back a second time and it was not so great. The food isnt consistent. Back to Bön Chon even though its farther away.

I tried only chicken it’s ok the chicken was made to order but the price are to high $ 11.99 for 12 party wing was to much for me

2.5 STARS — My review is for the pre-​packaged chicken only.
During a recent visit to Kukje, I noticed they had Korean Fried Chicken! Since I’m a sucker for chicken wings, I had to try it! I ended up getting the Hot & sweet chicken ($ 7.99) which came with about 10 wings. Maybe I should have gotten the wings to order, since I wasn’t impressed by these wings. They weren’t crispy at all. Instead they were mushy and the coating was soggy. Probably from sitting under the heat lamp.
I will give them another shot though since the other types of chicken also looked amazing! Just next time, I’ll get it made to order!

It’s hit or miss. One time the chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. The next time, it was chewy and overcooked. If you want the squid later in the evening, you can only get the stuff under the heat lamps. Don’t do it.

Love me some KFC, Korean Fried Chicken!
Located inside the Kukje supermarket now I don’t have to go all the way to K-​town Sunnyvale to get my fix. Shout to Cherylynn N for putting this on the map.
Ordered their half and half chicken (honey and spicy), 12 wings for $ 10 .
Only Chicken is also only takeout!
So after the 15 – 20 fried to order wait, they wrap your wings in plastic. So instead of having crispy and light wings, they ended up soggy from all the steam.
Still good, they came with pickled daikon. The honey was more sticky than sweet and the spicy wasn’t that spicy. Tasted like they used a wet batter before frying? Don’t worry San Tung, you still got the best wings in the city.
I mean, maybe Korean fried chicken tastes better with a bottle of Hite while doing karaōke? (
)
*They have premade, under the heat lamp, original flavor thighs, breasts, and drumsticks (3 pcs for $ 4) but the fried to order wings are the way to go. (
)

Ok, finally tried it. Took a full 20 minutes. Maybe we ordered wrong. «Seasoned mild chicken wings» 50 pieces for almost $ 39. It was ‘ok’~ not bad. Just not great and I probably expected too much. With that being said, I think it was over-​rated, and over-​priced and I doubt I’d order again. Plus the long wait meant I did some shopping and spent an extra $ 40 on groceries. Not the friendliest either.

I still can’t believe that this place existed for a million years and I only recently found out about it earlier this year! WTH is wrong with me? And I LOVE chicken wings! Like LOOOOVEEE!!! *smacks self*
I’ve since tried all the different varieties of fried wings they have but for me, the honey wings are my absolute favorite and I could eat them all the time. And I always ask for extra honey cuz I’m sweet like that ;0)

The chicken here is finger licken good.
It takes about 10 – 15 minutes for them to make it so I just walk around Kukje market and start browsing the home department where they have all their kitchen and bath stuff.
I always order the hot sweet and sour boneless chicken. The price is pretty steep but it does come with a good amount of chicken and sauce. They also give you a little container of pickled daikon. I can freaking eat that stuff like candy. It’s sooo good.
My recommendation is to get some kim chi fried rice over at Bart Grocery to complete the meal. :)

This place is in Kukje market, to the right when you walk in, between the mini bakery and the tofu soup restaurant. Made-​to-​order chicken wings, drumettes, boneless, whole, mix n match, etc in popular Korean styles like hot or mild spicy, soy sauce spicy, & garlic parmesan. They also have other flavors like teriyaki, sweet n sour, BBQ, etc. Call ahead to order since it takes the guy at least 20 minutes to have it ready. DON’T get the pre-​packaged chicken, you’ll be sorry. They’re open 10am-​9pm and you can do some grocery shopping while you’re there.
The soy sauce spicy used to be better than San Tung (seriously!!!) but my last two orders have been getting less of that crack sauce so they’re about even. Also recently they started wrapping your made-​to-​order chicken in plastic wrapped containers and I tell them it steams the chicken so it loses it’s crunch but they don’t listen. It may be cheaper cost packaging but I may have to downgrade them a star as their product is suffering. Why do great places always go downhill after having amazing openings?!! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! And have you tried the kanpoongki at Manna?!

I strolled into Kukje thinking I was only going to get some groceries to make my family some spicy tofu soup for dinner.
Instead, I came out with a bag of groceries and 2 boxes of fried chicken wing goodness.
I ordered 1 12 piece wings with garlic and parmesan and 1 12 pieces honey flavored wings.
These were both good… but my family liked the honey flavored wings even better!
Lightly battered and fried to a crisp, the chicken was still moist inside. Your order is accompanied by pickled daikons.
needless to say, we will be going back to try their other flavors.

BON BON CHICKEN: SFO-​NY-​SFO in 15 minutes!!!
Ever since my first experience with Bön Bön 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 Bön Bön 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 Bön Bön 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.
The MOUTH-​WATERING Spicy Wings — Hot Spicy are the closest chicken wings to the Bön Bön 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 Bön Bön Chicken FIX with a quick 10 min drive to Daly City? Very, very dangerous…
