Hey, our amazing Bloomington/Normal family,
We hear you! We’ve noticed your comments about the pink color near the bone in our authentic Korean fried chicken. We want you to know this: our chicken has always been fully cooked to a safe 165°F—that pink tint is simply a natural result of bone marrow seeping out during our traditional frying method.
However, we believe great food should look as good as it tastes. And more importantly, we never want our guests to feel unsure about their meal.
So, after listening closely to your feedback, we’ve made a big decision: Starting today, we are switching our signature bone-in thighs and legs to 100% BONELESS thighs and legs.
Why? Because we refuse to change our authentic Korean recipe or frying process—but we can remove the bone to remove the confusion. You’ll get the exact same crispy, juicy, glaze-covered chicken you love, with zero pink surprises and zero hassle. Just pure, perfect bites every time.
We’re making this change for you, and we can’t wait for you to try it. Thank you for helping us get better every single day!
