Samsam Chikin Boneless Chikin Medium – Soy Garlic, Gochujang, Honey Butter
October 5, 2021
Samsam Chikin officially opened last week, and I was SO excited to try it. One, because they had a 50% off promo. Second, because all these food bloggers were raving about it.
The journey to purchase this Korean boneless Chikin was a struggle indeed. On the first day their order form opened, I went to their website eagerly anticipating ordering, only to discover their website had crashed! I religiously went to their website every day to no avail. Finally! A friend told me I should message them on Viber instead. After 24 hours, they finally got back to me and my order was confirmed woohoo!
My order was as follows: (Note: 4 pcs per box)
- 2 boxes Soy Garlic Boneless Chikin Medium
- 2 boxes Gochujang Boneless Chikin Medium
- 2 boxes Honey Butter Boneless Chikin Medium
I overordered. Apparently. So when they told me there were 4 pcs in one box, in my mind, I envisioned these puny chicken bites. And so I thought, I had better order more.
Dude, each piece is NOT small. Let me reiterate this point. Each piece of fried chicken is HUGE – practically the size of my hand. For reference, I only ended up eating 2 pieces for dinner… despite the fact they were so good, I would have loved to eat more, but really, I couldn’t anymore!
They’re handbreaded which results in this super crunchy skin! Mygosh, winner – NOT soggy at all. The meat remained tender and juicy (sooo important). Also very important – it’s boneless. So no need to worry about pesky bones ruining your meal.
Lastly, it’s marinated with imported Korean ingredients, resulting in the authentic 5 Korean flavors they have on offer:
- Soy garlic: such a classic – arguably my favorite
- Gochujang: it’s spicy!!! Not fire in your mouth spicy, but definitely requires you to wash down with a drink
- Honey butter: sweet-ish although not cloyingly so
- Honey soy: sweet and savoury!
- Yangneom: sweet and spicy
Overall, I am SUPER happy with this purchase. Highly recommend!
