“Danji”

39;s spicy KFC (Korean fire chicken wings, $10), all shimmery and sticky with spice and sweetness. I was tempted to offer some of our bossam in exchange, but they were so gleefully and ravenously tearing through those wings, I feared I would be knocked off my stool at the suggestion.

Susie and I finished dinner with a plate of Kim's fantastic sliders. Buttery buns the size and color of summer peaches are stuffed with spicy bulgogi beef, then garnished with spicy pickles and a salsa fashioned from scallions ($12). You may never go back to an ordinary slider again. At least not happily.

You'll leave Danji and be grateful for the fresh air and the wide open space of Hell's Kitchen. But you'll be thinking about your meal for days after it's over, like an affair you know you should probably cut off but you can't. You'll be back in those chairs again. And so will I.

Danji is located at 346 West 52^nd Street, between 8^th and 9^th Avenues, 212-586-2880, www.dajinyc.com
