Hello! The new chicken menu from Kyochon Chicken that I will introduce today is a honey series menu released after a long time! Honey Garlic. It seemed like Kyochon Chicken had been focusing on slightly spicy menus like Mara Red in their seasoning! As far as I remember, it’s been quite a while since the release of a honey series menu after Honey Jumbo Wing! Moreover, this time it’s not just honey but with a generous amount of garlic! So, shall we find out what kind of menu it is!?
Kyochon Chicken Honey Garlic Price and Features
It seems to have become a custom(?) for various franchises to release menus related to Changnyeong garlic around this time, and Kyochon has also released a new menu that they don’t usually do. This menu is said to be a menu with garlic directly added to the existing honey sauce. It seems like a common combination, but the combination of the pungent taste of garlic and the sweet taste of honey doesn’t usually appeal much in the market, so it’s quite surprising!
First of all, this menu was released without a boneless option! The price is 22,000 won for a whole Honey Garlic chicken / 22,000 won for a wing box / 8,500 won for a Honey Garlic single wing. Although there is no boneless option yet, it might come out soon!? In fact, this menu seems to be somewhat of a bait. Somehow, in the press release, the news of the Honey Garlic release was less emphasized compared to the significant increase in half-and-half menu options. For reference, cola is basically 1,000 won, and from 500ml it’s 2,000 won, so to match the delivery fee of 24,000 won, you have to forcibly order cola, which is a minor drawback.
Kyochon Chicken Honey Garlic Composition
Then we should check the composition right away, right?! As soon as you open the lid, the sweet scent of honey sauce and the garlic aroma waft in. The visual is at least passable, right? Haha
The menu was transferred to a bowl. The sauce used in this menu is much thicker and richer than the existing sauce, and there isn’t as much as you might think! It seems like this is also a type that is brushed on and cooked, just like the honey sauce!
Upon closer inspection, the sauce has some added garlic detail, but it seems like they added garlic crumbles of the dried garlic type rather than real raw or minced garlic. I’m curious about what the pungent taste will feel like!
However, maybe because the seasoning is too thick, it doesn’t seem to coat evenly as expected. It could be a store-to-store variation, but it’s something that can definitely happen during busy peak times!
The composition itself seems to be very standard. However, apart from having a fan base, Honey Garlic series menus are not something people often buy with their own money, so I’m a bit worried about how well it will sell! If the taste is good, I think there’s enough potential.
Kyochon Chicken Honey Garlic Taste
Shall we taste it right away!? I like Honey Garlic series menus (so I’ll be a bit sad if it gets discontinued quickly…), and this menu seems to have a pretty good aroma, so I’m quite looking forward to it!
First, I tasted the leg right away. The basic honey sauce itself is a taste of Kyochon’s unique soy sauce flavor with honey, but the garlic taste comes in stronger than expected. It feels much stronger than menus that use garlic seasoning!
If you try it, it’s not just a ‘garlic aroma’ but a real ‘garlic taste’. Of course, it’s not raw garlic, but more like the feeling when you eat dried garlic flakes or crumbles!? It’s not too spicy, but I thought it would be good for kids, but then again, maybe not. Haha, friends who find eating kimchi difficult might find it quite spicy!
Maybe because the sauce is too thick, it doesn’t seem to go well with the dry parts. If you’re going to have it as a snack, it might be better to choose the wing menu! It seems to pair well with the fatty parts, so I hope they prepare a leg menu soon.
And as I mentioned earlier, if the sauce is not uniform, the pungent taste can hit all at once, so it’s good to find such sauce clumps(?) and shake them off appropriately or eat them together. Conversely, pieces with less sauce can feel quite bland!
Other than that, the taste itself is a very standard ‘Honey Garlic’. The pungent garlic taste is well alive, and it’s quite different from the menu that is closer to garlic bread seasoning than the taste of garlic itself, as I thought? Haha, for those who dislike spicy food, ordering the wing menu is a good option, and it seems like a pretty good choice for a family meal.
The taste slightly exceeds our expectations, so it was a menu that I can definitely recommend! And since a lot of half-and-half menus have been added this time, it would be nice to combine it with moderately spicy and salty menus according to your preference! From a personal perspective, it was a menu that I can definitely recommend!
