Bobby: BBQ Chicken
When you think of San Diego and chicken you may
think of this guy: 
San Diego is not known for fried chicken
places. What do you think this place is? Charleston, SC??
The common chains are scattered about here:
KFC, Church’s, and even Popeye’s. However, a new fried chicken place
has opened in what used to be Flavor Thai on Convoy. It is called BBQ
Chicken, which is a little misleading because “BBQ” is commonly used as the
abbreviation for barbeque, in this case “BBQ” stands for “best of the best
quality”. BBQ Chicken is a popular Korean franchise boasting 3500
locations in over 37 countries. I learned about BBQ Chicken through my
friend Peera who is the “unofficial financial advisor” for this location.
(For those who know Peera best, they would not trust him to advise on anything
financially. Apparently BBQ Chicken does not know Peera very well.)
Their chicken is cooked in extra-virgin olive oil, so its healthier
supposedly. The chicken we had was seasoned well and tasted pretty
good. I’m picky and don’t usually eat chicken skin but this skin was tasty
enough for me to eat! It was served with some shredded cabbage with a
tasty thousand island concoction on top and pickled daikon. Their medium
and large portions of chicken are moderately priced. We ended up paying
about $19 for two people.
