Paired with a bold gochujang glaze layered with Korean red pepper, garlic, sesame, and soy, this item will stand out, whether for grab & go meals, hot bars or behind the glass merchandising in the deli.

"Korea has captured everyone's attention from entertainment to music to food. We are already seeing dynamic Korean-Style flavors in grocery aisles and restaurants and it's just a matter of time before quick serve and fast casual chains jump on the Korean flavor craze," said Jeff Anderson, director of R&D at InnovAsian.

But rising demand comes with operational challenges including labor constraints and consistency. 

"The biggest challenge, and something we take pride in, is to create deli items with easy to execute cooking instructions. We make it easy for deli teams to deliver a consistently great experience. We do that with straightforward cooking methods that reduce labor and time, so shoppers or flavor seekers can enjoy the same meal experience time and time again," said Anderson. "In addition to easy prep and training support, our premium, fully cooked, all-white meat tempura chicken is ready-to-eat and crafted with a double-battered, double-fried coating for maximum crispiness and better hot hold experience."
