Behind the Dish

This KFC bao wasn’t the plan—it was a happy accident. The original idea? A glass-like, crispy fried chicken thigh. What came out? A katsu-style chicken breast, fried to perfection. Juicy, crunchy, and somehow better than the original vision. The real star is the housemade gochujang BBQ sauce—smoky, sweet, and just enough heat. Add creamy sriracha mayo and sharp, pickled veggies, and you’ve got a bao that’s messy, bold, and impossible to put down.
