Amsa Market chicken shop with call-ahead pickup: Gimssi Chicken
Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch is a takeout shop inside Amsa Market in Gangdong, Seoul, specialising in dakgangjeong (sweet-and-spicy fried chicken bites) and old-school whole fried chicken. Ordering a medium dakgangjeong by phone and collecting it after grocery shopping meant no queue and freshly fried chicken, and the owner handed over a piece of sauced fried chicken to taste during the short wait. The medium was generous enough for the writer and her daughter with a little left over, and with no gamey chicken smell, Gimssi Chicken is worth a return trip for kids' snacks.
