Global S. Korean chicken brand Pelicana open ‘Halal’ in Islington

HALAL STATUS Fully Halal (exc. chilli sauce)

1200-strong international Korean chicken brand Pelicana, who opened a store in London’s Islington last month, offer a fully Halal menu… perhaps (heads-up Zaman Siddiqui).

While both their website and a spokesperson confirms that “all our chicken dishes are halal”, the latter has informed FtLion that its sweet chilli sauce contains trace amounts of alcohol.

The franchise launched its second site in Islington’s Angel Central Shopping Centre after having opened its first in Hammersmith Broadway Shopping Centre last year.

With stores across Asia, Australia, China, Canada and the USA, Pelicana is considered South Korea’s leading fried chicken brand and has been serving its style of fried chicken since opening in 1982 in Daejeon.

Being one of the first chicken brands to commercialise fried chicken for delivery in South Korea, it revolutionised the way Koreans viewed chicken having previously preferred “tong-dak” rotisserie chicken.

With a third branch scheduled to open in Wimbledon in June of this year, their chicken menu revolves around four different flavours, with boneless, wings, and the Pelicana Box (half chicken), as well as a quartet of burgers, to consider.
