The Colonel has helmed the nation's army of chicken lovers since Kentucky Fried Chicken charged onto the fast-food scene in the seventies, but Korean fried chicken seems to be closing in quickly.

The Asian alternative boasts a slightly more health-friendly batter-free skin, an option of hot or ginger soy sauce, and a side of crunchy pickled radishes - making the dish potentially more palatable to the nation's growing number of trans-fat phobes. Right now, it's only available in Korean enclaves of major city areas, but we're hoping for a coup.

Our prediction: The KFC Famous Bowls line will have a new recruit - Korean-Style Chicken & Kimchee on Rice
