For the best fried chicken in Shanghai, head to bb.q Chicken (also known as bb.q Village), a Korean restaurant specializing in Korean fried chicken. Founded in September 1995 in South Korea, this global franchise is renowned for its "Golden Original" fried chicken, which is fried in olive oil for a result that is juicy and tender on the inside, and light and crispy on the outside.
The skin is crispy and craggy, with a surprisingly light batter that is not at all greasy. The meat is juicy and perfectly seasoned. A wide variety of sauces is available, ranging from sweet and tangy to hot and spicy, and even options like sweet cheese or spicy galbi. The menu also includes chicken tenders, coated in their signature batter and deep-fried to the same standard.
Their long-standing Minhang location at the Binqi Plaza mall has been open for over a decade. They expanded to include a Jing’an location in recent years where they do some fusion dishes.
