4.8 average
Every bird is treated like a blessing. Brined slow. Battered light. Fried our own special way, then brushed, never tossed, in sauce made to be remembered.
Four acts, one bird.
Brined slow.
Whole, bone-in birds rest in brine until the seasoning reaches the bone. Juiciness is decided here, hours before the fryer.
Battered light.
A thin, delicate batter. Just enough to shatter, never enough to hide the chicken.
Fried our special way.
Our own method locks in the signature crackle and leaves the grease behind. That first-bite snap is the whole point.
Brushed, never tossed.
Each piece is carefully brushed with your sauce, then finished with sesame, scallion, or chili threads.

Seven ways to taste it.
Every one of them starts in the same brine. Pick your flavor:
Whole Chicken
Our signature bird, specially fried whole. One sauce, or go half and half.
Jumbo Wings
Drums and flats, brined and specially fried, brushed in your sauce of choice.
Boneless Chicken
The whole bird, no bones, all crackle. Whole, half and half, or half.
Crispy Tenders
White-meat tenders with the same signature crunch. Crowd-friendly, shareable.
Teriyaki Bowl
Glazed chicken over steamed rice. The weekday regular.
Crispy Sandwich
The signature crunch, handheld. Built to be eaten in the car, honestly.
Honey Rice Cake & Chicken
Fried rice cakes and chicken brushed in honeybee glaze. Sweet meets crunch.
The rooster crowed first in Los Angeles.
Kokio began in LA in 2013 with one conviction: fried chicken deserves patience. Kkokkio is the sound a Korean rooster makes, and the name followed the recipe from California to the high desert. Today we are headquartered in Albuquerque, and the same special fry crisps in New Mexico, Washington, and Texas. Every box still leaves the kitchen made to order.
