KOREAN FRIEDCHICKEN IN ARANI
Fried twice, tossed by hand the moment it comes out, and eaten with your fingers. Five glazes, ₹159 to ₹189, at the Old Bus Stand.
How it is made
TWICE IN THEFRYER
Ordinary fried chicken is fried once. This goes in twice — the first time to cook it through, the second, hotter, to drive the last of the moisture out of the coating. That is the whole trick: a crust dry enough to stay crisp after something wet is poured over it.
The glaze goes on last, in a bowl, tossed by hand while the chicken is still too hot to hold. Sesame over the top. It is not sauced in advance and it is not held under a lamp, which is why it is cooked only once you order it.

The counter
FIVEGLAZES
Every one is the same chicken, fried the same way. What changes is what it is tossed in.
Korean Crispy Fried Chicken
₹159Spicy
The original: gochujang, garlic and a little sweetness, hot enough to notice and sticky enough to need a napkin.
Dragon Crispy Fried Chicken
₹169Spicy
The hottest of the five — the same glaze, taken further.
Teriyaki Crispy Fried Chicken
₹179Soy and honey cooked down until it glosses. No chilli, so it is the one children finish.
Malai Crispy Fried Chicken
₹189Cream and mild spice instead of chilli — the gentlest on the board.
Smokey BBQ Chicken
₹189Smoked barbecue, closer to a grill than to a sauce.
The same glazes turn up elsewhere on the board: Gochujang Loaded Fries (₹159), Teriyaki Loaded Fries (₹159), Korean Fried Chicken Wrap (₹149). The whole board is on the menu page.
Asked at the counter
GOOD TOKNOW
- What makes it Korean fried chicken and not ordinary fried chicken?
- Two things. It is fried twice — once to cook it, once to drive the moisture out of the crust — and it is tossed in its glaze only after it comes out of the second fry, so the coating stays crisp under the sauce instead of going soft in it.
- Which ones are spicy?
- Korean Crispy Fried Chicken and Dragon Crispy Fried Chicken are the hot ones. Teriyaki Crispy Fried Chicken, Malai Crispy Fried Chicken, Smokey BBQ Chicken are not — teriyaki is sweet, malai is creamy and the barbecue is smoked rather than hot.
