Pelicana Chicken

Delicious wings!!!!! Ive only tried the crispy with no sauce and these are some of the best wings I've had!

Best fried chicken if you're coming to the source
It was empty when we got here but inside is clean and has tvs and music going on. Servers make sure you have what you need. Flavors are great. Great spot for chicken and alcohol! No complaints here!

I normally get original batter, but the crispy batter made the chicken so much juicier & more moist. I think I just elevated my KFC game. The batter was so crunchy and the chicken was still hot by the time it was served to us! We got the crispy whole fried chicken with sauce (we got original, sweet and spicy, sauce) and a side of peli cheese balls. Since we did wait for a bit, I didn't get a good cheese pull from the cheese balls, but it was still good regardless. It has the same texture as a bouncy ricecake & it was sweet; the cheese helps balance it out and it complements the chicken nicely.

Overall,
* 5/5 for the crispy whole fried chicken w/sauce
* 3/5 for the peli cheeseballs

Amazing Service and even better wings! They're huge so be prepared and taste amazing! The sweet rice cake was amazing! All the food was fresh and steamy! Loved it!

This is one of my go to spots for Korean fried chicken in the area if the wait isn't a hour long. My buddy and I visited in the evening around 8pm on a Wednesday night and we got sat immediately.

This time we ordered the 18pc original ban ban wings with the hot chili sauce. That sauce is a gochujang marinade so it's spicy. We only finished 9 pcs between the two of us because the wings are THICCC, so keep that in mind if you order wings from here. Breading is on the heavier side but the wings are still meaty. Almost every wing was the size of my palm, wish I took a pic. Also, wait a minute when your food is served, I always burn my fingers.

The chicken usually takes a little while to come out because it's fried fresh to order, not fast food. If you're really hungry, you should opt for some of the appetizers that come out faster like the cheese buldak which tastes great when you mix its sauce with some rice. We also ordered the peli shaken fries which has a honey butter seasoning, so if you like honey butter potato chips then order it. The fries portion was good enough for 2 people, maybe 3. I also tried the twisted donuts before, and they're bomb. They came with three pcs and were super fluffy and chewy, almost like deep fried mochi.

All in all, food quality is pretty consistent and service is great so 5 stars to that (shoutout to Eileen!).

Love coming here!! Always receive the best service and the food is always impeccable! Have tried many korean fried chicken places around Buena Park but i still always come back to this location Pelicana!
