What the creator captured
Mark Wiens visited the legendary Yangdong Market to try their famous Korean Fried Chicken, which is fried in pure cotton seed oil for a unique texture. He was particularly impressed by the extreme crispiness of the heavy batter and the juicy interior of the chicken. His favorite combination was the original fried chicken dipped in salt and paired with refreshing pickled radish.
