TIL that the inventor of Korean fried chicken got his sucess via a restaurant chain called Mexican Chicken

In 1985, he formally launched the Mexican Chicken brand — though unrelated to Mexico — and made industry history by airing South Korea’s first television commercial for fried chicken. The chain expanded rapidly, operating about 1,700 outlets nationwide at its peak.

Best kind of fried chicken IMO.

Flags at half staff 😢

We make a version of this at home using Daring “chicken”. So good. We owe this guy so much. 🫡
