The one piece to order

Korean-style fried chicken, honey-glazed or za'atar, and a hot fresh donut

The line to expect: Busy at lunch; it moves.

Philadelphia's fried chicken and donut shop: the chicken is twice-fried the Korean way.

Double-fried Korean fried chicken, plain and yangnyeom

Double-fried Korean fried chicken, plain and yangnyeom

1 hr 15 min · 4 (with beer). What Seoul's chicken houses do: a thin potato-starch batter fried twice, which drives out moisture and leaves a glassy crust that stays crisp even under the sticky, sweet-hot gochujang glaze. Make half plain, half glazed, the way it's ordered.
