The most important thing to know about Bagock is that the fried chicken rules. Destination worthy, even. Partially it's about the seasoning, which is ample—salt, pepper, a hint of garlic—but not overwhelming, and the bird's buttermilk bath prior to frying, which enhances the meat's tenderness. The addition of butter to the frying oil also adds flavor, and there's an incredible burst of juiciness waiting for you just beneath the crackling skin.
