About

Any reputable Korean fried chicken joint will provide these refreshing sweet pickles to offset their fried offerings. Some people like to include lemon-lime soda when pickling, but I don’t think it needs it. It’s an essential accompaniment to Ultimate KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). We serve this pickle at Jinjuu, and customers are always asking for more.
