The two I mentioned above are about 25% cheaper than Bonchon.

Then you should go to Mr. Han's in Santiago de Chile - located in Providencia, right next to the Four Points. The wings are really good, and served with disposable gloves, as to not mess with your recently manicured nails. https://www.instagram.com/mrhanschicken/?hl=en
I had Bonchon for the first time about two months ago. Really good (got the half & half sauce) and crispy, but not as crispy as I've heard it should be. I just found it to be a little too expensive (15-piece combo with just waters was nearly $40 after tip).
Angry Chicken and Funny Plus in Aurora have gotten rave reviews. I'll head up there next time I go on an H-Mart run.

it's a great pity, because bonchon knows how much sauce to put on the chicken to avoid making it slimy and stick to my teeth.

Looks like they're local over there or at least not around here 
I'm reasonably happy with Bonchon, but would certainly not mind alternatives. I'm back to not going out to eat, so it has to be within delivery or pickup range of my particular south-of-SF peninsula town.

i have been a huge fan of bonchon for the past ~10 years, but they recently changed how they cook their chicken, and i'm extremely disappointed with the change. it seems much like chick-fil-a, which is not worth the price for the chicken.

Their peanut salad sauce (brown sauce, maybe not peanut) is amazing, and pickled daikon as well.
