KFC’s Fried Chicken Skins Becomes A Hit in Seoul
Has anyone tried this yet?:
Young Koreans are going crazy for KFC’s new fried chicken skins as the so-called bizarre food trend sweeps the country.
At 9: 40 a.m. on Wednesday, the KFC in Gangnam Station, southern Seoul, was full of people waiting to get their hands on the snack. When the store started serving food 20 minutes later, people rushed to line up at the self-service kiosk stands.
They were rushing to get their hands on the limited-edition fried chicken skin, which are sold for 2,800 won ($2.40) for 12 pieces.
The salty and greasy fried skins were first offered at KFC restaurants in Indonesia.

I’m not a “young Korean”—I’m a half-century-old half-Korean, so maybe I’m the wrong demographic, but I’ll have to go and see this sacred event for myself.
In the States, my Korean mom used to peel the fried skin off her KFC. I’d always look at her as if she’d grown a second head. The fried skin is the whole point!
How do we know that’s chicken skin?
Fried chicken skin.
Hm. Sounds like it’s missing something….
I know! Mayo! (and bacon!)
You dummies spend way too much money chasing “fried chicken skin”.
I just fire up the Fry Baby and throw in a handful of sheepskin condoms.
Crispy yet tender.
KFC ’round Dallas is spicing it up differently…

Meanwhile, local Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Albertson’s, Brookshire Brothers, Tom Thumb/Randall’s, and Kroger’s stores sell better fried chicken cheaper than KFC.
C’est la vie.
