After my not so great visit to Bonchon, I was wanting some decent chicken wings. I had recently revisited both Pelicana and Cross Street, both of which left me wanting for more. So BB.Q and BHC came to mind. I had thought that BHC was more to my liking on my previous visits, so I went ahead and placed a takeout order. And then I headed over to pick up my order.
I don’t know if it’s just me….but it’s always seems like the businesses in this strip mall….other than MickeyD’s is closed?
Anyway, my order was waiting when I arrived.
I had selected and order of wings ($8.99) with a side of Chickem Mu (pickled radish – $2).
The wings seemed a bit larger than what I recalled. I do prefer more medium sized wings as I enjoy the batter-meat ratio more.
This seemed a bit more heavy-handed with regards to the batter, but I did enjoy the “flats”. The coating reminds me a bit of cornflake-cornstarch fried chicken. I enjoy the balance of crispness to crunchiness. I know that folks, especially those IF influencers really go for thick, crunchy batter, but I like something a bit lighter.
I did like the basic seasoning the wings came with. It wasn’t overly salty and one could taste the chicken.
To hedge my bets, I also got the ever popular Bburinkle sauce….but I’m just not a fan of the slightly cheesy, sour…almost milky sauce. The pickled radish was decent, not overly sweet like some versions these days…it’s a good palate cleanser (especially after trying a few bites with that Bburinkle sauce). The portion size was much larger than I thoguht it would be.
Back to the wings. The batter was nice and crisp, not overly thick. The flats were really nice and moist and you could taste the chicken.
The drumettes were a bit more chewy, but were also moist, with no off colors or flavors. A bit unwieldy, but not bad.
This was a decent “KFC” meal….I didn’t feel overly fry-o-lated and it was enough food for me. I guess BHC might be my current favorite for KFC in San Diego.

So tell me. What’s your current favorite purveyor of KFC in San Diego?
Interesting, there is a BHC close by me in RB but I thought it was just ok. I know they’re related but your chicken looks better than what I got. Guess I should go back 😄. No real favorite as I don’t eat much fried chicken these days. Getting old!
Perhaps not all BHC’s are created equal RD? And yes, I have to kinda space out my visits to these places nowadays as well! ;o)
good that it was decent
Yes, it was enjoyable Kat!
I checked them out when they first opened and liked it. Need to head back. Current fave is Pelicana
Hope you enjoy it ST!
Nice. Have an apt up there this weekend. Think I’ll stop by for lunch. I agree that center is kind of weird.
Hope you have a nice lunch Franklin!
I think I’ve given up on “KFC” in SD; I didn’t care for Bonchon or Cross Street on my last visits, which have been awhile ago. But BHC looks decent, and their hours make it easier to stop by.
