How does Goobne's Gochu Basasak taste?

The signature dish I ordered at Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road was the Gochu Basasak. It's crispy outside and moist inside, and the sharp kick of chili pepper meant I never got tired of it, even after eating a lot.

As the name suggests, Gochu Basasak has the spicy charm of chili peppers, so I think anyone who likes chicken has considered it at least once. The outside is roasted to look delicious, and the first bite gives you that crispy texture. The meat inside is moist, so it never felt dry. Personally, it's tasty plain, but I think its charm comes alive even more with the sauce.

The kicker: dip the Gochu Basasak in the sauce!

Dipping the Gochu Basasak in the sauce was my favorite part of this meal at Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road. The savory, spicy flavor of the chicken met the sauce and felt even richer.

The sauce's own flavor adds something, and it tastes different from eating the chicken alone. The sauce blends lightly into the crispy coating, and you still get the moist meat too, so I kept reaching for more. I started out enjoying the chicken itself, then switched to dipping from the middle of the meal. It's definitely fun to dip.

If you're ordering the Gochu Basasak, don't skip the sauce. Personally, the moment of dipping it was the biggest kicker of this meal.

How about cheese balls as a chicken side?

Chicken alone felt like not enough at Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road, so I ordered cheese balls too. The savory, chewy cheese balls were great to nibble between pieces of spicy Gochu Basasak.

If the chicken is salty and spicy, the cheese balls add a different kind of fun with their savory, chewy texture. With only Gochu Basasak, the spicy flavor is the center, but eating cheese balls alongside made the flavor combinations more varied. If you're wondering which side to get with chicken, try the cheese balls. When you visit with several people, one chicken with a side or two would make the meal feel even fuller.
