Next time in Atlanta you should check out Heirloom Market BBQ. It is both Korean and BBQ, but it is not Korean BBQ. It is a married couple.

They serve it with Korean style banchan pickles instead of the usual dill pickle slices. It is so good.

Mike as always enjoy your videos. My grandma always fried chicken in an iron skillet (not deep fried) and after turning once she would put the lid on for about 12 minutes then take it off to crisp up the skin/coating. We always bought smaller whole chicken and disjointed it ourselves and soaked in buttermilk with seasonings over night. Every part was used including the neck, back and giblets. Wish I could make you and Christine some!
