Chi-Kin

The Write-Up

The full story

Chi-Kin is the low-key Korean fried chicken counter on North Mills Avenue, laid back and chill, where the wings stay crunchy under scratch-made sweet gochujang and soy garlic sauces. Kimchi fries, bulgogi beef fries and tteokbokki round out a menu guests call creative and fresh, and the sweet gochujang dip earns its own following. Regulars steer you to the wings and fries, the plates that built the spot's reputation.
