At Chicken Avenue in Calgary's Chinatown, our Crispy Original Korean Fried Chicken represents the
foundation of authentic Korean fried chicken tradition. This isn't just fried chicken — it's a
masterclass in the art of double-frying that has made Korean fried chicken a global phenomenon.
Each piece undergoes a meticulous two-stage frying process that creates the signature texture
that keeps Calgary customers coming back for more.
The first fry cooks the chicken through at a lower temperature, ensuring the meat stays succulent
and juicy. After a brief rest, the chicken takes a second plunge into hotter oil, which creates
the paper-thin, glass-like shatter coating that Korean fried chicken is famous for. This coating
stays crispy for hours, not minutes, making it perfect for both immediate enjoyment and delivery
to homes across Calgary.

The Art of Double-Frying
The double-fry method is what separates Korean fried chicken from all other styles. The first fry
renders out excess fat and cooks the chicken through, while the second fry at a higher temperature
evaporates any remaining moisture in the skin, creating that signature glass-like crunch. At
Chicken Avenue, we've perfected this technique through years of practice, ensuring every piece of
Crispy Original delivers the authentic Korean fried chicken experience Calgary diners crave.
