I kicked off my morning in Seoul with Korean fried chicken at Kyochon Chicken, enjoying spicy and mala flavors. Later, I had an incredible hot and sweet chicken at Yell-O in Itaewon, which I rated 9.5. I also tried a solid American cheeseburger and a surprisingly spicy, Filipino-inspired fried chicken at Fry-b. For dinner, I visited Rock Chicken in Hongdae, appreciating its light and crispy texture. The next day, after searching for another spot, I discovered Chicken & Draft Beer in Mapo, which quickly became one of my favorite chicken places due to its explosive flavors and juicy meat. — Seoul · Itaewon

I found Fry-b's chicken to be incredibly crispy, juicy, and surprisingly spicy, reminding me of a better version of Jolly B chicken.

I found the American Cheeseburger to be a solid smash burger with soft buns and awesome fries that were better than McDonald's.
