Elevate Your Next Movie Night: Coles and Gami Bring Cult-Favourite Korean Fried Chicken Straight to Your Kitchen

Korean culture is having a major global moment, influencing everything from our skincare routines to our playlists. But perhaps the most delicious aspect of this cultural wave is the rise of Korean cuisine—specifically, the obsession with ultra-crispy, flavour-packed Korean fried chicken.
For nearly two decades, Melbourne-founded cult-favourite restaurant Gami Chicken has been at the forefront of this movement in Australia. Known for its impossibly crispy texture, RSPCA Approved Australian chicken, and bold signature glazes, Gami has grown from a single boutique eatery in 2006 to 30 bustling locations nationwide.
Now, you do not need a restaurant reservation to satisfy your cravings. In an exciting nine-month collaboration, Coles has partnered with Gami to launch an exclusive “fakeaway” retail range. It brings that authentic, restaurant-quality crunch straight to your home freezer for just $12 a pack. Ready in a mere 14 minutes in the air fryer (or 21 minutes in the oven), it is the ultimate premium convenience meal.
The Flavour Lineup
The range features two of Gami’s most iconic, crowd-pleasing sauce profiles:
  • Soy Garlic Sauce (400g): A savory, sweet, and deeply umami glaze that coats the crispy chicken beautifully without making it soggy. Available nationally.
  • Sweet Chilli Sauce (400g): The perfect balance of gentle heat and tangy sweetness for those who like a little kick. Available in 475 selected stores.

How to Serve: Create the Ultimate At-Home Gami Experience
To truly do justice to this range, do not just serve it on a plain plate. Korean fried chicken is traditionally a highly social, experiential meal meant for sharing. Here is how to style and serve it like a pro for your next date night, girl’s night, or weekend gathering:
1. The Traditional Seoul Platter
In Korea, fried chicken is almost always served with specific, refreshing sides to cut through the richness of the meat.
  • The Crunch: Serve your heated Gami chicken alongside a bowl of cubed, pickled white radish (치킨무 – danmuji). The cold, sweet, and sour crunch resets your palate between bites.
  • The Salad: Whip up a quick, classic Korean bistro salad using finely shredded green cabbage tossed in a simple dressing of Kewpie mayonnaise and a touch of ketchup.

2. Host a “Chimaek” Night
“Chimaek” is a beloved Korean portmanteau combining “chi” (chicken) and “maek” (beer). It is a fundamental part of Korean casual dining culture.
  • The Drinks: Arrange a grazing board with your hot Soy Garlic and Sweet Chilli chicken. Pair it with ice-cold premium lagers, crisp pale ales, or a citrusy Yuzu sparkling water.
  • The Setup: Pile the chicken high on a lined wooden board, scatter fresh coriander and toasted sesame seeds over the top, and let everyone dig in family-style.

3. The Premium Mid-Week Rice Bowl
Transform the range into a gourmet, visually stunning weeknight dinner.
  • The Base: Lay down a bed of fluffy jasmine or purple rice.
  • The Greens: Add a side of lightly steamed broccolini tossed in sesame oil and a quick homemade cucumber kimchi (sliced cucumber, sea salt, rice vinegar, and a pinch of chili flakes).
  • The Finish: Top with the sticky Gami chicken pieces, a drizzle of extra Kewpie mayo, and a perfectly fried sunny-side-up egg.
