Scent of fried chicken is in the air. I recall the nights my mom left me alone I would run over to the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken and I smelled that scent before I got inside to place my order. I did not like being left alone but once in awhile I could go out for fried chicken and stay up late watching tv. Now I can eat Korean fried chicken at Gala Chicken when I want except Monday and after 8pm.
This visit I try 2 different preparation of wings.
Crispy wings batter was very crunchy and I enjoyed the mild seasoning. Juicy wings were fried perfectly. I love the crispy style which is kinda like extra crunchy at KFC. Soy garlic wings were not as crunchy but had an additional flavor from the soy sauce. I didn’t like the distractions to the fried goodness.
2nd visit I tried a large order of drumsticks which was 6. I liked the crunchy batter but mild seasoning didn’t provide much flavor to the drumsticks.
They were overcooked a bit and drier than I would have liked. Kirk of mmm-yoso noticed they cut into the drumsticks to check how well cooked it is and this contributes to the dryness.
Gala Chicken was located inside Zion near the meat area. I prefer the new location in the food court as you can more easily get dessert to complete your meal. The wings are good here but Cross Street Chicken has more flavorful Korean Fried Chicken. Kirk of mmm-yoso!!! has visited too.

Glad you liked the wings! Would you eat here again?
I would eat the wings again.
Yeah, the wings are much better than the other chicken pieces at Gala, Soo. Thanks again for the mention.
You are welcome Kirk!
