K-chicken and beer

WITH Korean pop music and films invading the country, it’s no surprise why Korean restaurants are also popping out around the city. Aside from the popular samgyeopsal-gui (pork belly barbeque), the chi-maek (fried chicken and beer combo) is also one of the Korean dishes that Filipinos go crazy for whether it’s pan-fried in hot pepper sauce, deep-fried in oil or braised in soy.

Chi-maek is a combination of the English word “chicken” and “maekju” (the Korean word for beer). During the time Korea developed a variety of chicken dishes was the same time draft beers were popular. Eventually, it became a thing for chicken and beer to be combined as a single menu item. Chi-maek became more sensationalized in 2002 during the World Cup. That is why chimaek has a significant impact on the Korean drinking culture.

Korean fried chicken has its own taste and flavor and is generally lighter, crunchier and less greasy than its Western counterparts. After frying, the chicken is usually brushed with a thin layer sauce for it to be flavorful.

Here are some flavors one should indulge in and are perfectly paired with cold draft beer available at BB.Q (Best of the Best Quality) Chicken and Beer.
