Fried chicken has reached a level of food glory known to very few.
The crunchy, crispy, salty exterior, countered by the juicy interior is a match made in literal heaven.
In complete transparency, the staff at Glam Adelaide include 1 x pescatarian and 1 x coeliac, but we’ve employed the help of our friends, family, and our memories pre-dietaries, to collate a list of our favourite fried chicken joints.
With no further ado and in alphabetical order.
Ban Ban
This traditional Korean fried chicken restaurant is an Insta-haven spot that slings the most delicious fried chicken.
The menu features original, secret, sweet and spicy, soy garlic and an angry sauce, so you know Ban Ban pretty much nail every flavour of fried chicken.
And at this restaurant our vegan loving friends don’t need to miss out because an incredible meat alternative is available that doesn’t sacrifice on flavour.
You can find Ban Ban at 145 Franklin St or Level 1 50 Rundle Mall.
Gunbae Fried Chicken
Gunbae Fried Chicken combines two of our favourite things: fried chicken and beer.
