Ever wonder why Chicko’s chicken stays crispy even after it’s been delivered?

The secret lies in the double-frying technique — a method that’s deeply rooted in Korean culinary tradition. Unlike typical fried chicken, which is often cooked once, our chicken is fried twice to achieve that perfect balance of juicy inside and ultra-crispy outside.

The first fry cooks the meat through, locking in moisture. After resting, the second fry crisps up the skin to golden perfection, creating that iconic Chicko crunch. It takes more time and effort, but the result is worth every second.

This method also helps our chicken stay crispy longer, making it perfect for takeout, delivery, or enjoying with friends at the store. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll understand — this isn’t just fried chicken. It’s Chicko.

Chicko Chicken began with a simple goal: to serve authentic Korean fried chicken with unforgettable flavor.

It all started in Vancouver, where a single location quickly became a local hotspot known for its crispy, saucy, and freshly made chicken. As word spread, so did demand — and soon, Chicko found its way across the Rockies into Alberta.

Our journey into Alberta wasn’t just about opening new stores; it was about bringing a piece of Korean food culture into new communities.

From the bustling streets of Calgary to the heart of Edmonton, we’ve stayed true to the same values that made us popular in Vancouver: quality ingredients, made-to-order cooking, and bold, unforgettable flavor.

As we continue to grow, one thing will never change — Chicko is always about real food made with real heart.
