Psyched out on Korean Psy'd Chicken Burger

We normally don’t go for chicken burgers- chicken is like a vegetable to us beef loving guys. But when we saw pictures of the special at Burgerpatch (Thanks to the Facebook burger group we are in – thanks #FBAS!) one of us had to try.

Here’s the ingredients of the Korean Psy’d Chicken Burger:

Soy glazed buttermilk fried chicken, pajeori - (shallot coleslaw with gochujang vinaigrette), Chilsung Cider pickled radish & carrot, Sesame mayonnaise, and sandwiched between a toasted milk bun

The chicken is buttermilk fried, but soy glazed. It looked big and juicy. Biting into this was a surprise- the crunch was unexpected, and a further surprise was that the meat was so succulent. The soy provided the chicken with a savoury, Asian flavour.

After that, you’ll wonder about the spices that are dripping down this burger. On top of the chicken is pajeori – (meaning seasoned green onion)- a shallot slaw with gochujang vinaigrette, adding crispiness to the burger. It spiced up the burger nicely, adding a flavour dimension of oniony taste and cutting through the deep fried chicken. Certainly the gochujang (red chili paste) gave this burger some sweet heat.

The next thing you’ll notice is that the deep fried chicken is perfectly paired with Chilsung Cider pickled radish & carrot. This added a sweet, zingy tang to also cut through the deep fried chicken.

The sesame mayonnaise rounds out the intense sauce to provide a balanced, spicy/sweet flavour combination. This sauce just dripped through the whole burger, bathing the flavours so well.

There are many flavour dimensions to this burger- an incredible combination of savory, sweet, and spice which blends together so well. The texture mixture of juicy, sturdy and crunch also makes this burger deserve to be noticed.

The other burger we tried was The Angry American. Hot, hot, hot. Our noses we running after this burger. Again, the boys at Burgerpatch know how to cook their patties so perfectly. The rich meat patty combined with cheese and an abundance of jalepinos will clear your sinuses out. You’ll also enjoy the crunch of the onion ring on top.

Tip- make use of the patch of lawn at Burger Patch with the available rugs. The friendly staff have got your back. They brought us our wet towels to wash our burger-juicy hands afterwards and took away our empty boxes.You'll feel like you're having a burger picnic in the middle of Chatty. Great time of year for it.

You're welcome.
