No. 5The one piece to order
The plain fried chicken (huraideu) with the crinkle-cut fries and a cold beer
Lonely Planet calls it the one place that makes everyone's list of Seoul's best fried chicken: birds fried in big iron cauldrons until the crust shatters.
Make it at home
Double-fried Korean fried chicken, plain and yangnyeom
1 hr 15 min · 4 (with beer). What Seoul's chicken houses do: a thin potato-starch batter fried twice, which drives out moisture and leaves a glassy crust that stays crisp even under the sticky, sweet-hot gochujang glaze. Make half plain, half glazed, the way it's ordered.
