So much fried chicken, so little time.

 

That’s the situation faced by Victoria diners as the number of restaurants specializing in fried chicken has exploded in the past year.

 

To be clear, many restaurants in Victoria offer fried chicken on their menus, but now there is a long list of eateries actually specializing in it.

One of the latest is Smile Chicken, a Korean-style restaurant at the corner of Broughton and Douglas – it’s all chicken, all the time.

Also new downtown is Chimac Korean-style fried chicken that includes an tantalizing item called spicy chilly chicken. Other fried chicken options include original, garlic soy, honey mustard, snowy (with a cheese seasoning), plus sweet and sour, creamy onion and pa-dak – a boneless chicken with thin-sliced green onion and homemade horseradish sauce on top.

 

If you’re noticing a trend with Korean-style fried chicken, you’re right. This is all the rage in Metro Vancouver and it’s growing in Victoria. Another great place in this style is Thunderbird on Cook Street that has an incredible crispy chicken.

I thought we didn't want to be like Vancouver?

This fried chicken trend may end up being for the birds, but then again I am not really a breast of the situation. I guess I'll have to wing it.

The writer just came from Vancouver, he's told us that 30 times now.

 

Using chicken puns should not test your hen-durance.  Going out for chicken sure beats staying home and watching a chick flick.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established Korean fried chicken restaurant in the heart of Langford, one of Vancouver Island's fastest-growing communities. This turnkey business is fully set up and well managed, with the owner not involved in daily operations, making it ideal for both hands-on operators and investors. The restaurant benefits from a long-term lease with low rent, strong income, and stable operations. Strategically located directly across the street from Costco and next door to McDonald's, the business enjoys exceptional visibility, heavy foot traffic, and ample customer parking. The 926 sqft space offers efficient operations with 10 indoor seats and an additional 18 patio seats, perfectly suited for high-volume takeout and dine-in service. Situated in a clean, vibrant, and rapidly developing area, this is a rare chance to acquire a profitable, low-overhead food business in a prime Langford location.
