Saturday picnic takeout: Danyang Gugyeong Market chicken shop

Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong is a black garlic nurungji dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) shop inside Gugyeong Market in Danyang, Chungbuk. Arriving at 5pm on a Saturday after a family grave-tending trip, the writer waited 40 minutes in a long line for a double black garlic dakgangjeong (20,000 won) and a two-bottle black garlic makgeolli set (10,000 won), then ate it picnic-style just outside the market. With crisp lotus root and nurungji (crispy rice crust) in the box, the whole family called it the best dakgangjeong they had ever eaten.
