Why do Koreans like fried chicken so much?

My view on Koreans' love for fried chicken comes from a line by the heroine Qian Shengyi (Gianna Jun) in the popular Korean drama You from the Stars on the Internet: "It's snowing, how can there be no fried chicken and beer?" .

Fried chicken, a magical and delicious food with super healing power, came into being under the influence of Korean local food culture, with distinctive characteristics, and gradually became a national food popular in Korean streets. So why do Koreans like fried chicken? I think there are several reasons.

First, it is cheap and economical.

In the high-priced Korean society, eating a big meal with high meat content is not cheap. And foods like fried chicken with an average price of 12000 yuan (about RMB 60 yuan) are very affordable. Moreover, there are usually cola and pizza in the fried chicken package, so fried chicken is especially popular with student parties and young people.

Second, there are many kinds of fried chicken.

The essence of Korean fried chicken is the sauce with crispy fried fairy, which is delicious, but one thing is that it is crispy outside and tender inside when it is hot. The sauce has many flavors, including original classic fried chicken, soy sauce fried chicken, honey garlic fried chicken, chives fried chicken, sweet and spicy fried chicken, cheese fried chicken and so on.

Personally, I like the taste of sweet and spicy fried chicken and spicy cabbage best. If you think the sauce is not delicious enough, you can ask the store for the sauce. Of course, South Korea's most popular fried chicken with cheese is amazing at first bite. Koreans like kimchi and fried chicken very much. When they are combined, it is a very Korean combination.

With the diversification of brands and tastes, fried chicken is no longer a pure western food, but has surpassed the former to become a symbolic food in South Korea-"Korean fried chicken".

Third, South Korea's take-out is developed.

Almost all the kitchens in Korea are in the living room, and no oil smoke is a major feature of Korean diet. Therefore, fried chicken in Korea is basically a takeaway except for eating in the lobby.

Take-away food is not only convenient and fast, but also greatly meets the dietary needs of Koreans. A large number of people live alone or rent a house with friends in Seoul. These people are not only international students and college students, but also many professionals. They get off work very late, and after a hard day, they go shopping and cook. I don't know when to have dinner.

So you can see that there are many restaurants in many Korean communities, and he has no seats to eat. It's just a takeaway shop. He delivers dozens of waves every day. After work, lie comfortably at home, order a takeaway, and enjoy the food without leaving home. And they are basically open until the early morning or even 24 hours.

The best time to enjoy fried chicken is about 30 minutes after roasting chicken. The quick and convenient delivery mechanism ensures the delicious fried chicken and brings a little comfort to the tired Koreans.

Fourth, the proud local industry.

There are more than 80,000 fried chicken shops in Korea, twice as many as McDonald's in the world. It can be seen that fried chicken is a very sacred existence for Koreans. In addition, South Korea is a proud country, and they all have a feeling that the things in their own country are the best, so for them, imported products such as McDonald's and KFC support their own local food more.

Koreans also like to eat fried and pickled things. You should often see women's dishes, seaweed soup, kimchi, miso soup and so on in Korean dramas. To tell the truth, it is because of this that I deliberately learn from others' practices. Delicious, really delicious. And fried chicken, a convenient and fast food, is of course their first choice. How can they not have a soft spot for fried chicken?

And fried chicken, a magical food, is irresistible in any country. I usually like fried chicken, which is really delicious with beer, and then I watch TV dramas leisurely after work. Haha, that feeling is really cool.
