After walking the whole market without finding anything the kids would eat, one family ordered fried chicken and cheese balls to take back to their lodging, and the order came with honey mustard, seasoning sauce, salt and homemade-style pickled radish. For a family evening in Hadong, Jadam Chicken was a can't-fail dinner pick. ## Good to know - **Address**: 4 Ssanggye-ro, Hwagae-myeon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–22:00 - **Location**: A little above Hwagae Market, right next to Lotte Mart - **Ordered**: Fried chicken, cheese balls - **Also sold**: Kkwabaegi (twisted doughnuts) from a well-known master baker - **Seating**: Plenty of outdoor tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* We took a spontaneous family trip to Hadong last week. It was my first time in Hadong, and I loved the lush nature and relaxed pace so much 🤭 We even visited Hwagae Market, which I'd only ever heard about in a song, but there weren't many menu options the kids could eat, so after some hesitation I found and visited 🍗 Jadam Chicken Hadong Hwagaejangteo, which I'm introducing today 😌 ## Where is Jadam Chicken Hadong Hwagaejangteo, and what are its hours? ![Exterior of Jadam Chicken Hadong Hwagaejangteo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-01-1r5hb-m-966.webp) ✅ Jadam Chicken Hwagaejangteo is at 4 Ssanggye-ro, Hwagae-myeon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, and ✔️ it's open daily 12:00–22:00. Head just a little uphill from Hwagae Market and it's right next to Lotte Mart :) Hwagae Market isn't huge, so it wasn't hard to find the store. ![Area around the store, next to Lotte Mart above Hwagae Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-02-t9tnf-966.webp) ## What makes Jadam Chicken Hwagaejangteo different: a chicken-frying robot ✔️ What makes Jadam Chicken Hwagaejangteo special is that it's one of fewer than 10 stores nationwide using a chicken-frying robot to cook. Knowing a robot, not a person, fries the chicken at the ideal temperature made me even more excited 🤭 ![Interior of the store where a chicken robot cooks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-03-60cnz-1200.webp) The store had a clean, tidy feel overall, and the owner also sells kkwabaegi (twisted fried doughnuts) from a well-known local vendor, which seemed like a great snack to pick up alongside the chicken 😚 Jadam Chicken, already famous for its eco-friendly, well-being approach, uses Korean antibiotic-free chicken and has used animal-welfare-certified chicken since 2017. As a mom who cares about what ingredients my kids eat, that was a huge plus for me 👍 ![Neatly organized interior of Jadam Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-04-154ow-966.webp) ![Display of kkwabaegi and other snacks sold at the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-05-up631-966.webp) ### Outdoor tables at Jadam Chicken, with room to spare The weather has cooled down a lot now, and there were plenty of outdoor tables ready for enjoying this kind of weather. Even with a lot of customers at the same time, the tables felt spacious enough. ![Spacious outdoor tables at the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-06-95toc-966.webp) ### The frying robot the kids watched for ages The chicken robot inside the store — we visited with the kids, and they found it so fascinating they stood watching for a long while. Knowing it fries the chicken at the optimal temperature timed perfectly made me even more excited about the food. ![The chicken robot frying chicken inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-07-1syz5-966.webp) ![Freshly fried chicken just out of the fryer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-08-ziboy-966.webp) The crispy fried chicken that came out right on time after frying ❤️ Just looking at it, freshly fried like that, it would honestly be a crime for it not to taste good 😋 Apparently used in fewer than 10 stores nationwide, so it was an even better experience to see it in person 🦾🤖 While the robot busily fried the chicken and cheese balls, the kids and I stood watching for a long time. It was so fascinating just to watch 😊 It really feels like robots are replacing people for so many things now. ![The robot frying chicken and cheese balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-09-14xm7-m-966.webp) ## Fried chicken and cheese balls packed to go: what's in the box We asked for it packed to go so we could bathe the kids and eat comfortably at our lodging, and they packed the chicken, cheese balls, sauces, salt, and pickled radish neatly together. We carried it straight back to where we were staying. ![Chicken packed to go, brought back to the lodging](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-10-qhz32-966.webp) They included honey mustard sauce and seasoning sauce, plus salt :) Jadam Chicken's pickled radish has a homemade style — unlike other brands' pickled radish, it has a healthier feel, which made it even tastier and a great match for the chicken. ![Honey mustard and seasoning sauces with homemade-style pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-11-1wd04-966.webp) Crispy fried cheese balls — something you'd miss now if they weren't part of the chicken order 🧀 ![Crispy fried cheese balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-12-zyylj-966.webp) ## Is Jadam Chicken a good meal with kids near Hwagae Market? The main event: the chicken. The crispy coating was delicious. Fried chicken is honestly a can't-fail choice. We'd walked all around Hwagae Market and struggled to find anything the kids could eat, so bringing back chicken meant the whole family could enjoy a meal together — such a relief. The crispy coating was delicious. They also gave us several different sauces, so it was fun dipping into something different each time 😉 ![Fried chicken and cheese ball dinner spread at the lodging](https://img.superchart.com/images/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout/jadam-chicken-hwagae-market-family-takeout-13-xvd5w-966.webp) With the cheese balls added on top of the other food we'd brought back, we had a delicious dinner together.
