Al Baik has been the go-to comfort food since the ’70s because it’s affordable, quick yet very consistent with its delicious and unique tastes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But here’s 10 reasons why EXACTLY it is so well-loved in the Kingdom:<\/p>\n

1. Two words: Broasted Chicken. That’s all.<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

2. The garlic sauce… (and all the other ones too)<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

3. Because you’d travel across the globe just to see those drumsticks..<\/h3>\n

Just once<\/p>\n

5. Because even if it was leg day, Al Baik would be the ultimate cheat meal every time\u00a0<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Got out of the gym all pleased with myself for working out. Then a friend asks me to come over cause he got Al Baik from Saudi. Smh.<\/p>\n

6. Their nuggets could possibly beat other well-known versions<\/h3>\n

Yes, we said it.<\/p>\n

7. It’s affordable..<\/h3>\n

but not the kind of affordable you can find something wrong with.<\/p>\n

8. Never take it for granted..<\/h3>\n

People who’ve left Saudi will understand.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

You dont know what al Baik means to you, until you travel out of saudi kingdom #craving<\/a> #homesick<\/a><\/p>\n

10. I mean, it’s pretty much Saudi’s national food<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

If anyone ever asked me what the national food of Saudi Arabia was, I’d calmly reply with “Al-Baik”..<\/p>\n
