Pelicana has been one of the most popular fried chicken chains in Korea since 1982. Pelicana is the latest newcomer to KFC family in the crowded K-town neighborhood - but it has one of the longest histories of any chain in Korea. Famous Korean fried chicken chains, like BBQ Olive Chicken and BonChon, have opened multiple locations throughout New York City, and local chains like Turntable have made a killing, too. Its signature sweet-and-sour sauce, made with Korean spices like gochujang, makes KFC stand strongly in the fierce fried chicken competition in America.
I am not talking about Colonel Sanders I am talking about Korean fried chicken. KFC has gone mainstream in American food world. Located on the third floor of Food Gallery 32, a food court in the heart of K-town at 11 West 32nd St., between Broadway and Fifth Avenue, it’s the best version of Korean fried chicken that New Yorkers can probably find outside of Korea. But despite my mom’s negative insights about the future of the chain in Korea, Pelicana’s entrance into Manhattan is still a big deal. Pelicana is like a dying brand in Korea now,” my mom said as I continued to praise Pelicana’s fried chicken. “There are so many fried chicken chains here. “No one eats Pelicana chicken in Korea anymore,” my mom said, surprised when I raved about Pelicana, one of the biggest fried chicken chains in Korea that opened its first location in Manhattan recently.
