Korean fried Chicken contains no Korean traditional ingredients, says Food critic

 韓国でフライドチキン論争　「韓国産はマズい」発言が発端

Is Korean fried chicken something to be proud of?
Food critic sparks debate over size, taste of local poultry

While acknowledging that local fried chicken is small in size compared to other countries, the association refuted that the taste is greatly affected by that. 

“It is very inappropriate for Hwang to make such an argument as if most small chickens produced in Korea and offered at local restaurants are tasteless,” a KPA official said. 

“Are we really proud that fried chicken now represents Korean food? If local fried chicken is Korean food, it should contain Korean traditional ingredients, but it doesn’t.”

While making his case for the lack of Koreanness in fried chicken, he also said that rich people do not eat chicken, which triggered another round of debate among fried chicken lovers.
