The fried chicken with the fried hot peppers on the side
Lonely Planet calls it one of the trendiest chicken houses in Seoul, and its fans come for the trademark fried peppers.
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.
