Oppa Chicken Korean Fried Chicken is doing something Sioux Falls didn't know it was missing — double-fried chicken so crisp it stays that way long enough to finish your meal without racing the clock.
Korean fried chicken is a different animal than what most people grew up with. The twice-frying technique produces a shatteringly thin crust that locks in moisture while shedding grease. Oppa Chicken delivers that style to Sioux Falls, serving up Korean fried chicken with the sauces and sides that make the format worth obsessing over — whether you order sweet and spicy glazed or go straight classic.
Locals who've made the trip to 3412 S Western know the difference once they taste it. This isn't a novelty act or a trend grab. It's a specific regional food tradition, executed with conviction, in a city that increasingly expects more from its dining options. Once you've had it here, the drive-through version of fried chicken starts feeling like a real step down.
