몇 년 만에 나온 페리카나 신제품 !! 귀하네요 치폴릭

What it is

Pelicana Chipollic is chicken coated in a dark, sticky sauce combining chipotle and Cheongyang chili with aged soy sauce and Korean garlic. It is designed as a sweet-savory, moderately spicy alternative to familiar Korean soy-garlic chicken; the sauce also suits rice, noodles, or bread. The regular version costs ₩23,000, while Chipollic White Dip costs ₩24,000.

Does it work?

It works exceptionally well for diners who enjoy sweet, salty soy-garlic chicken and want a restrained Mexican-chili twist. The reviewer ranks the sauce among the best he has tried: savory and moist, with natural chipotle aroma, mild smokiness, and Cheongyang chili keeping the unfamiliar pepper flavor from dominating. Heat-sensitive diners may find it quite spicy, while chili fans should experience it as pleasantly spicy. Commenters noticed the unusually strong endorsement: “He rarely praises something this much, so now I’m curious.”

Watch-outs

Pelicana’s branch-to-branch consistency is the main risk. Commenters report that even the same location can vary from excellent to disappointing, with some branches serving chicken that smells of stale frying oil. The two versions cannot be ordered half-and-half, and White Dip costs ₩1,000 more.
