With its crunchy skin, less grease, burst of spices, and combination of sweet and saltiness in every bite and best paired with rice, salad, or beer, Korean fried chicken would be in anybody’s top 10 list of favorite dishes.
If you are craving for one right now, Thunder Chicken located on Middle Road is open and ready to serve; albeit for take-out only in accordance with government measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the CNMI.
Thunder Chicken opened on Saipan in May 2018. They specialize on chicken as they are a franchise-holder of a restaurant in Korea.
“We have and serve seven kinds of fried chicken—sweet and sour, sweet and spicy, sweet soy sauce, sweet garlic sauce, onion, chili, and padak chicken dishes. A certified crowd-favorite because of the right balance of flavors is our padak chicken topped with thinly sliced green onions paired with a delicious sauce,” Thunder Chicken’s general manager said.
“Customers can order half and half of any flavor or order just half if they want. We have many kinds of sauces for all the chicken dishes. We import the sauces from our main franchise restaurant in Korea so we retain that authentic Korean fried chicken taste anytime. As for side dishes we have salad, pickle, and radish,” he added.
Like other restaurants, Thunder Chicken does take-out only and customers are assured they follow safety and health procedures. “We prepare the chicken in our own take-out box that we import from Korea. These boxes also ensure that when customers get home after they pick up food, the dish is still fresh, warm. and the crunchiness of the chicken skin is still there,” general manager said.
Thunder Chicken is open Monday to Sunday from 11:30am to 6:30pm for take-out. For more information, call (670) 235-9241 or visit their Facebook page: Thunder Chicken
