But... the line!!! This is the stature of one of Seoul's top three dakgangjeong spots!?!? Customers kept pouring in, so I thought, “I should look around the market first,” and took a leisurely lap, you know? But... hahaha, there was still a line of new customers... haha. (I should have ordered first and walked around the market after... haha.) There were a few other places selling dakgangjeong in the market, so why was everyone gathering only here?.. 😋 ![Customers waiting outside Gimssi Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-04-s06d7-966.webp) I'm so curious how good it will be~😆 ## Gimssi Chicken menu and prices First, I took a look at the menu~ ![Gimssi Chicken menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-05-1dich-966.webp) Wow~ I was surprised by how unbelievably affordable the prices were. ![Old-school whole chicken and medium-spicy dakgangjeong at Gimssi Chicken in Amsa Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-06-1cova-966.webp) ![Chicken menu prices at Gimssi Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-07-1vpwy-966.webp) - Dakgangjeong (mild / medium-spicy / spicy): medium ₩9,000 / special ₩13,000 / large ₩17,000 - Boneless fried chicken: medium ₩8,000 / special ₩12,000 / large ₩16,000 - Bone-in fried chicken (one whole chicken, takeout): ₩9,900 - Old-school whole chicken (fried): ₩7,000 - Old-school whole chicken (sauced): ₩10,000 ![Custom by-the-piece menu at Gimssi Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-08-11igl-966.webp) - Drumsticks: 4 pieces ₩6,000 / 6 pieces ₩9,000 / 8 pieces ₩12,000 / 12 pieces ₩17,000 - Wings: 8 pieces ₩8,000 / 11 pieces ₩10,000 - Drumettes: 7 pieces ₩8,000 / 10 pieces ₩10,000 I loved the custom by-the-piece menu, where you can pick just the cuts you like in the quantity you want~ You can also buy sauces: seasoned-chicken sauce, spicy seasoned sauce, mustard sauce, cheese mustard, and cheese jalapeño~👍👍 ![Order from Gimssi Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-09-19jxx-966.webp) Gimssi Chicken is so famous for dakgangjeong, so I ordered a medium medium-spicy dakgangjeong... plus the old-school whole chicken that I personally love. (The old-school whole chicken is only ₩7,000😍) ## Taking home medium-spicy dakgangjeong and old-school whole chicken After placing my order and looking around the nearby shops, I came back to find my dakgangjeong and whole chicken packed up~ ![Packed dakgangjeong and old-school whole chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-10-1vxly-966.webp) The bag had a nice weight to it, making my steps even more excited~ (Today is a chicken party~~~😍)🐔🐔 ![Chicken packed in takeout bags](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-11-7t9kf-966.webp) ![Takeout food from Gimssi Chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-12-7ob28-966.webp) I just love that old-school whole chicken feeling of a paper bag~ 😆 ![Old-school whole chicken in a paper bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-13-1kn6b-966.webp) ![Old-school whole chicken takeout and paper bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-14-1w65w-966.webp) Look at that thin batter~ The skin was so crisp and nutty~ Perhaps because of that, it wasn't overly greasy, and the seasoning was just right, making it easy to enjoy its clean flavor~😍😍😍 ![Old-school whole chicken with thin batter](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-15-4q0ba-780.webp) ![Packed medium-spicy dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong-16-v19os-966.webp) The dakgangjeong still had such a lovely crunch too~ And the meat inside was so moist and tender~ I chose medium-spicy, and I loved the happy combination of sweetness and a pleasantly sharp heat. It was fried really well, and I think the sauce is truly delicious. It's genuinely worth lining up for.. haha I heard Gimssi Chicken can sell at these prices because it cuts out middle-distribution markups, receives ingredients delivered directly from production areas or importers to the shop, and sells them with only a minimal margin. I was very satisfied to take home chicken that was generous, delicious, and so reasonably priced~😆 If I go to Amsa-dong, I'll absolutely take some home again~😆😆 ### Visit information 105, 1st floor, 21 Olympic-ro 98-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (230 m from Exit 1 of Amsa Station) / Daily 11:00–22:00 ## Where it is - Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch (김씨치킨 암사시장점) - 105, 1st floor, 21 Olympic-ro 98-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 올림픽로98길 21 1층 105호 - 37.5512819, 127.1293433 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%80%EC%94%A8%EC%B9%98%ED%82%A8%20%EC%95%94%EC%82%AC%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.5512819,127.1293433,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-diner-compass/amsa-market-chicken-gangjeong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
