I took home the large fried dakgangjeong for 28,000 won with salt and seasoned sauce, and it stayed crisp and chewy even after cooling. Verdict: a takeout I’d happily get again on a Jeonju trip. ## Good to know - **Order**: Fried dakgangjeong, large - **Price**: ₩28,000 - **Service**: Cooked to order and takeout only; no dine-in *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* Today, I’m introducing a must-try food spot in Jeonju Hanok Village. It’s probably a place anyone who has walked around the village has spotted at least once. ![Signature photo of Mannyeon Dakgangjeong in Jeonju Hanok Village](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-01-wxo57-1200.webp) > Mannyeon Dakgangjeong The hanok-style storefront really stood out thanks to its yellow signage. The lettering is nice and big too, haha. ![Hanok-style exterior of Mannyeon Dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-02-lp564-900.webp) ## A neatly organized takeout-only interior There are no seats for eating inside; it is set up only for cooking and takeout, but everything was neatly organized. Maybe because so many people take their orders to go, the place was full of takeaway boxes, haha. ![Interior of Mannyeon Dakgangjeong, a takeout-only shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-03-4s73o-900.webp) ![Store interior with takeaway boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-04-1cbz6-900.webp) ## Ordering the large fried chicken and debating the menu 💰 Order details Fried dakgangjeong (large) — ₩28,000 After a huge debate over getting half-and-half or a menu item with shrimp, I decided to stick with the basic one. Next time, I should try one with shrimp. ![Mannyeon Dakgangjeong menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-05-1xesr-900.webp) ![Dakgangjeong menu and price guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-06-9lpqo-900.webp) There were lots of simple side dishes too, but the slushy beer immediately caught my eye!!! I wanted it, but daytime drinking is dangerous, so I painfully held back, haha. It was cool in the shade, but the sun was still hot enough that I thought the alcohol would hit me fast, haha. ![Side menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-07-2rg6o-900.webp) ![Menu featuring slushy beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-08-1gbfn-900.webp) ## Dakgangjeong that tastes good even after it cools Since it is mainly for takeout, I think people often end up eating their dakgangjeong a few hours later rather than while it is piping hot. Usually, cooled chicken can have that distinctive chicken smell, but Mannyeon Dakgangjeong says it does not smell even when cold—and that it is actually tastier after cooling—so I was even more intrigued 👍 Honestly, I don’t eat cold chicken because I worry it will smellㅜ I hate that chicken smell~ㅠ ![Takeout dakgangjeong information sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-09-1yhd2-900.webp) The box said to open the lid as soon as you receive it, since steam from the hot food could make the dakgangjeong soggy, so I did exactly that right away! Haha. With the lid open, the car filled with the smell of dakgangjeong on the way home, and I wanted to eat it so badly that I went straight home. We had originally planned to stop elsewhere too, but I just wanted to eat it quickly, haha. ![Instructions to open the lid after takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-10-1c036-900.webp) For the review event, you can get a squeaky duck 🪿🪿 chicken toy or sotteok sotteok (rice cake and sausage skewers), haha. My son chose the chicken toy!! It squeaked all the way home, haha. ![Duck toy from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-11-18zz3-900.webp) That red box is intense, right? Haha. I thought it suited dakgangjeong perfectly, haha. They gave us seasoned sauce and salt, and I liked that the sauce was securely packed in a plastic pouch. Usually sauce comes in a disposable container and sometimes leaks, but this one looked like it would not leak, which was nice. ![Dakgangjeong in a red takeaway box](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-12-1d25i-900.webp) ![Takeout dakgangjeong set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-13-qiidv-900.webp) ![Dakgangjeong takeaway box](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-14-1gu6w-900.webp) ![Takeout dakgangjeong with included sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-15-k0f4x-900.webp) Most people order half seasoned and half fried, but a few months ago, while traveling in Jeonju, I searched for local food and heard Mannyeon Dakgangjeong was a Jeonju Hanok Village favorite. We had taken it out then too, and the fried version was better, so we ordered only fried this time. ![Seasoned sauce packed in a plastic pouch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-16-vqyof-900.webp) ![Fried dakgangjeong takeout set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-17-1kk5a-900.webp) ![Dakgangjeong with salt and seasoned sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-18-16tzt-900.webp) There were some bits in the sauce, and I think they were pieces of fresh fruit. The sauce also had Mannyeon Dakgangjeong’s own special flavor—not the usual intensely seasoned dakgangjeong sauce. ![One box of fried dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-19-10h86-900.webp) ## Fried dakgangjeong with salt and seasoned sauce Mannyeon Dakgangjeong’s biggest charm, especially, is that it tastes good even when cold! Even after time passed and it had cooled, it was not soggy; the crispness and chewiness were still there, so I think it would be delicious even left over for the next day. Dip it in the included salt or seasoned sauce, and the crisp fried chicken plus sweet-spicy sauce makes it feel like you are enjoying two flavors from one box. ![Seasoned sauce with fruit pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-20-1nc6g-900.webp) ![Fried dakgangjeong eaten with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-21-3u752-900.webp) ![Crisp fried dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-22-5u9ws-900.webp) I had been struggling all day after drinking too much the night before, but once I tasted the dakgangjeong, there was no way I could skip beer, so I cracked open a can right away...😆 My husband said he could not drink, so I had it all to myself. ![Dakgangjeong with beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-23-5g49v-900.webp) Cold beer and dakgangjeong 👍 The portion was generous and the value was good, so I do not think there is anything better as a snack, late-night bite, or travel takeout in Jeonju Hanok Village. If you are looking for crisp, delicious dakgangjeong, I definitely recommend trying it at least once. ![Cold beer and takeout dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken-24-tjacx-900.webp) ## Where it is - Mannyeon Dakgangjeong Hanok Village Direct Store (만년닭강정 한옥마을직영점) (만년닭강정 한옥마을직영점) - 27 Taejo-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju, Jeonbuk, South Korea - 전북특별자치도 전주시 완산구 태조로 27 1층 만년닭강정 - 35.8143956, 127.1518445 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%EB%85%84%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%95%EC%A0%95%20%ED%95%9C%EC%98%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@35.8143956,127.1518445,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-lunch-letter/jeonju-hanok-village-fried-chicken/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
