Hello. Today’s new chicken menu is BHC’s “King” series. Following Sweet Chili King, they’ve released Soy Garlic King with a “crispy seasoned chicken” concept.
After Sweet Chili King launched with the idea of staying crispy to the very end, it seems the response was quietly solid. This time, they’re introducing a soy sauce–seasoned chicken concept.

Hello. Today’s new menu item from Pizza Maru is the BBQ Chipotle, released in late January 2026. It is said to be a pizza focused on a smoky, spicy flavor, built around three key toppings: flame-kissed pork bulgogi, mild wedge potatoes, and spicy chipotle sauce. Still, the overall lineup is fairly light, so it is not overly hot or intense. That said, it aims for a trendy flavor profile, so I went ahead and bought one right away. Lately, jalapeño- and chipotle-style items seem to be showing up especially often since early 2026. Now, let’s take a closer look at how this one turns out.
Hello. Today’s new Mom’s Touch menu is Hudeokjuk Chef’s “Chef Collection” item, Hudeokjuk Thigh Meat Bites. As you’d expect from the Chef Collection line, it reinterprets chicken using the Cyburger sauce. Since I really enjoyed the previous Hudeokjuk Thigh Meat Bites, I ordered this one with quiet anticipation. In particular, the fish-fragrant chili sauce is the real highlight. I’m curious how it will pair with the chicken. Now, let’s take a closer look at what this menu is all about.
