Chicken Wing Wednesday - Krispy Krunchy Chicken Revisited

Just a short post for "hump day".

I had just finished a meeting and it was nearly noon.....a terrible time for lunch in the Kearny Mesa area....unless you love crowds. It was one of those times when I just wanted something....fried. So, I decided to head on over to the 99 Ranch Market on Balboa, which was pretty sedate as usual and decided to get lunch at Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I'm glad they ditched the terrible ramen here a while back.

I didn't want heat lamp wings, so I did what the young lady who works here told me back when they opened; if you order the ten piece wings, they will be made to order. If you order waffle fries, they will be made to order. So, I did both and ended up with way too much food.

These were hot, moist, and indeed c(k)rispy and c(k)runchy. The seasoning and batter still reminds me of Popeyes, nothing wrong with that. Though I find the meat itself more moist and with a definite "saltiness" without the spice like Popeyes. Just a little dip into Louisiana hot sauce, the vinegar and spice really helps cut any richness....but not the guilt I'm afraid.

While I'm not the biggest fan of waffle fries; these were at least crisp. Though I'll just stick with wedges next time.

One of the folks in the office was the beneficiary of a half dozen wings and a ton of waffle fries.

Well, I got my fried food fix in...…..until next time.

With the new H Mart opening down the street soon the future doesn't look too bright for this location. When I go on weekday nights it's usually dead. KKC sure does have the best fried chicken in the area tho. That and Mr Fish & Chips down the street provides the area with decent fried food options.

I'm thinking H Mart will shake up Zion's world too Junichi.
