Hey food lovers! Today I’m super excited to share my personal experience at Don Chicken in Carrollton, Texas – along with some mouthwatering photos that’ll have you running to grab Korean fried chicken ASAP!
As a dedicated fried chicken enthusiast, I’ve been anxiously waiting to try this popular Korean fried chicken chain that’s been expanding across the US with locations in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and now Texas. Let me tell you – it did NOT disappoint!
The Don Chicken Experience
Don Chicken isn’t just another fried chicken joint – they’re all about creating “unforgettable experiences that linger long after your last bite.” Their commitment to premium ingredients and authentic Korean recipes really shows in every crispy, juicy piece.
When I walked into their Carrollton location at 1105 Old Denton Rd #100 I was immediately struck by the modern yet homey atmosphere. The warm lighting, wood accents and colorful wall art really transport you to Korea without leaving Texas.

The Star of the Show: Korean Fried Chicken
Let’s get to what we’re all here for – the CHICKEN! Don Chicken marinates their chicken for a full 24 hours in homemade sauce before frying it to crispy perfection. You can choose from different cuts like:
- Wings
- Drumsticks
- Boneless strips
And the sauce options? Absolutely mouth-watering:
- Soy Garlic
- Spicy
- Honey Butter
- Half & Half (half soy garlic/half spicy)
During my visit, I ordered the Soy Garlic Boneless Fried Chicken and OMG – that first bite was heaven! The chicken had this incredible ultra-crispy exterior while remaining perfectly moist and juicy inside. The soy garlic sauce coated each piece with a sweet, salty, garlicky punch that had me reaching for more.
I particularly appreciated how they cut the chicken into generous chunks rather than tiny nuggets. This lets you really experience the perfect contrast between the crunchy batter and juicy meat.

Beyond Just Chicken
While chicken is obviously the star here Don Chicken Carrollton offers an impressive array of traditional Korean sides and dishes
- Kimchi (perfectly sour and spicy)
- Japchae glass noodles (savory with colorful vegetables)
- Pickled radish (refreshing tangy crunch)
- Bulgogi (tender marinated beef)
- Various banchan options (braised potatoes, seaweed salad, marinated beans)
- Specialty Korean dishes (cheese corn, seafood pancake, army stew)
The japchae noodles deserves special mention – these glass noodles were perfectly seasoned and made an excellent companion to the fried chicken
