"If you've followed David Chang over the years, you know he really loves fried chicken - and to many people's surprise, he thinks fried chicken doesn't get much better than at McDonald's in China. This may be a mind-blowing pick, but Chang has never been shy about his appreciation for chain fried chicken. He's a documented fan of Popeye's, and heaped massive praise on China's local KFCs during an episode of his show "Ugly Delicious" dedicated entirely to fried chicken."
"While McDonald's China has favorites like the McChicken and Chicken McNuggets, there is a whole section dedicated to multiple types of fried chicken on its menu. There are at least three types of bone-in fried chicken, which include a classic battered fried chicken, extra-crispy wings, and what's described as "thin-skinned," crispy chicken. The thin-skinned fried chicken looks to be fried with no batter so the skin itself crisps up. It's also available in four flavors: plain, lemon, honey BBQ, and garlic butter."
David Chang consistently praises fried chicken and specifically names McDonald's China as offering the best fried chicken. He has previously expressed strong appreciation for chain fried chicken, including Popeyes and China's KFCs. McDonald's China goes beyond familiar items like the McChicken and Chicken McNuggets by dedicating a menu section to multiple fried chicken styles. The menu includes at least three bone-in varieties: a classic battered chicken, extra-crispy wings, and a thin-skinned option fried without batter so the skin crisps. The thin-skinned pieces are offered in plain, lemon, honey BBQ, and garlic butter flavors.
