My diet has hit a wall this week. I mean the week started out good. I went running Monday- Wednesday, but then work and meetings and late night drinking took over. I’ll get back on the wagon soon.

The other thing that is ruining my diet are all the delivery chicken places around here (Haebangchon). The newest one is BBQ Chicken.

I think they make the best batter for the chicken and they fry everything in olive oil, so…it’s healthy fried chicken, right? The oil does make it seem less greasy and there is a nice crunch.

The spicy one was…spicy. Loved it and the plain was just like the crispy chicken from KFC.

Good stuff.
