After the cauldron-fried chicken, what next? How to choose at Norang Tongdak

If you always pick the same fried or garlic chicken when ordering from Norang Tongdak (노랑통닭), this time try changing the ingredients in the sauce. The pungent kick of garlic, the flavor of kkanpung, the aroma of green onion soy sauce, the pairing of peanut and green tangerine: each gives a different reason to choose your next menu.

Using the basic fried chicken and the familiar garlic and kkanpung as a baseline, we compared the Norang Trio with three flavors in one, Green Onion Soy Sauce, Garlic in the Dip, Udo Peanut and Gochujang Red Crunch. The list is based on the official menu names and descriptions; it is not a ranking by sales or an order of which tastes best.

The product photos are the official images of the menus introduced. The cuts in the photos may differ from the options you actually select, so match the bone-in, boneless or combo configuration on the ordering screen. In particular, the cuts offered and the conditions for add-on orders can vary by menu.

If you like a crispy basic, go for the fried chicken; if you love garlic flavor, the Zesty Garlic; if you want to broaden your sauces, start by comparing the kkanpung or the Green Onion Soy Sauce. On days when you're curious about two or three flavors at once, the official half-and-half and trio configurations are another way to go instead of a single menu.

Once you've chosen a flavor, it's time to check the cuts you want and the order unit. Look at whether boneless is available, what the makeup becomes when you switch to a combo, and whether a half chicken comes with add-on conditions. If you have allergies to peanuts, milk or the like, check the menu's official ingredient information too, and go by your ordering branch's notice for final availability and price.
