bb.q Chicken

KFC or CFC (Corean Fwied Cheekan) has been explosive in this one horse town for the last few years. They have popped up faster than zits on a dirty hooker's ass. The Pouch has sampled many of them and most of them has given me explosive IBS-D... No, not the crackne from the dirty ho's ass but the dismal CFC that some places dishes out. But those little trivial things have never deter the Pouch from trying all of them. Shit, if a chicken had three heads I will eat that fried mother-Ghidorah-clucker. I have never met a chickenhead that I didn't liked. The popularity in CFC is how they prepare it... It's double fried to seal in the mega juiciness inside and the ultra crispy crust outside.

bb.q Chicken is a Korean chain that claims to have 1,000's of locations all over the world but in the USA, they are mainly in CA, IL, NY and a bunch peppered in other states. But what does "bb.q" stand for? Supposedly, Best of the Best Quality. And they partnered up with BTS to get young pussy to eat fried chicken. Now, I'm curious since BTS is involved... I know, I know what y'all are asking, why haven't the obeast underlord tried this joint yet? That's because the one on Buford Hwy looked dirtier than a Krispy Krunchy Chicken in a gas station in the ghetto. So, they have a few locations in Atlanta- Duluth, Suwanee, Johns Creek and Doraville... But they just opened a brand new location in Decatur in the old cursed space that once was Pho King which was fuh-king awful and before that a Taziki Mediterranean Cafe which was a tacky snoozefest. 

Somehow the fowl gods sucka'd another schmuck into taking the doomed space with another franchise. But at least this franchise serves fwied cheekan... The Pouch is totally OK with that... But wait up, not so fast... I drove by this new Decatur location a couple of times and every time it was dead as fuck empty during prime times. If the space is cursed, I don't want to be disappointed with cursed CFC... So, I'm going to the dirty one on Buford Hwy since I know it will be run by real life Coreans. Let's see if they live up to the Pouch's standards... Which is pretty damn low rent.

Half & Half Whole Chicken, Golden Original and Hot Spicy, $26. Boneless Lunch Combo, Honey Garlic, $12. This was an impressive spread... Visually. But how does it taste? Let's start with the boneless lunch combo first and work our way to the main event...

Boneless Lunch Combo, Honey Garlic, Fries. I have never been into the "boneless" wings gimmick... Let's face it, they're just fucking abstract cheekan pieces, neither nuggets nor tenders. They're like cheekan bits stuck in purgatory. The honey garlic glaze seems to coat all the pieces evenly. Took a bite, hmmm, not too shabby. The thin crust coating was crispy and it was well seasoned but the most important thing was that it was juicy inside. I must admit, these were pretty tasty. Would I get them again... Eh, only if someone else is paying for them.

If  you want a whole chicken, there is only two sauces available for it- Secret Spicy or Hot Spicy. All the other sauce flavors are only available with the boneless at this location (seems like the other locations offer more flavors with the whole chickens). What a crock of shit deal is that? How fucking chintzy can you be... C'mon, gae sae kki, they're just factory made sauces in buckets, give the cheekanheads options. But let's see how good (or bad) the cheekan is anyways...

Half Golden Original. Holy BTS, Fatman... It almost looks like Krispy Krunchy Chicken! Did they just Uber Eats this shit from KKC? I gotta admit, it looks pretty good. I love the thin crispy crust. I hate thick crusts, it's like the heavy breading is there to cover up the shitty chicken and lackluster flavor. Took a bite, lots of crunch and the meat was moist and juicy and flavorful. Goddamn, it was pretty tasty... And I didn't even put hot sauce on it. OK, let's move on to the main event...

Half Hot Spicy. What's wrong with this picture? This must be their hot spicy tiger stripe camouflage sauce. Jesus Christ, how cheap can you fucking be with the sauce that you rather pump pump squirt it on than toss it... That's what she said. This was a total let down visually but the golden original was tasty enough that maybe a hint of the hot spicy will bring it to the next level? Guess again, hangmun... The hot spicy was barely even medium hot but the viscosity and color were spot-on. I just wished they fully coated all the pieces with it... Stingy mofos. The crust was crispy and the meat was moist, juicy and flavorful, once, again. I should have asked them for more sauce on the side but the young broad working the counter was more interested in playing on her phone than working. I don't think any more hot spicy sauce would have made a meaningful difference. I shoulda threw the bones on the floor and take pics for the @randomchickenbonesofatl on IG...

It's a good Corean fwied cheekan, but Choong Man Chicken is still my go to for CFC. But guess who still has my cheekan lips, heart, Pouch and ass... The best fwied cheekan in all the lands, Popeyes. Those muddafukkaz got their shit down pat... Or is that down pouch.
