What did we order at Kkanbu Chicken Nambu Terminal Branch?

My boyfriend and I ordered one whole garlic soy chicken along with chicken's best friends, cola and zero cola. hehe

While the chicken was being prepared, they brought out popcorn and pickled radish for us to nibble on while we waited.

A nice cold cola! Just looking at it cools you down, right? haha

How did the Kkanbu garlic soy chicken taste?

After a short wait, the garlic soy chicken arrived!! 🤤🤤🤤 I tried to pick a piece up to photograph it, but it was so freshly made and piping hot I couldn't hold it! ㅠㅠ lol

The color is amazing, right?! It looks incredible!!! ><

Drumsticks and wings

Holding up a drumstick, click~

Next up, my favorite — the wings!!! The garlic soy chicken wings had a subtle spiciness on the outside that made them impossible to stop eating, lol. I took a bite of the pickled radish in between too!

Juicy breast meat and crispy-chewy skin

I usually only eat drumstick meat, but can you see how juicy the meat looks in the photo? I ended up finishing all the breast meat too, lol.

The skin was, no need to say more!!! Crispy-chewy plus the sweet-and-salty soy sauce made for an incredible combo! The garlic aroma seemed to sharpen the flavor even more?! Having that garlic taste really brought out the umami. haha I ate really well!! ><
