Shelves are lined with rows and rows of amazing Korean goods. In the back of the market there is a counter with delicious cooked foods. Among them, lollipop chicken wings.

The sauce is quite interesting as there is a hint of buffalo flavor. The wings are $2.00 a piece which is quite high when factoring in the size of each wing.
Good To Go – Spicy Wings
Slightly tangy, slightly spicy, very mediocre is the verdict on these wings. Their "spice" was not present and tasted like a light buffalo wing.
It’s Just Wings – Terrible Buffalo Wings
The buffalo sauce tastes very artificial and slightly chemically which was extremely unappealing. Nothing about these wings is remotely good.
K-COOP Spicy Rookie Wings
K-COOP is a great Korean fried chicken spot in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago. Now, I must say that I got take out from K-COOP, and I did not try these wings fresh.
