Jayang-dong chicken shop with tteok fritters and chibap: Mr. Kim's
Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch is a 15-year-old dakgangjeong (sweet and spicy fried chicken bites) shop between gates 4 and 5 of Jayang Traditional Market in Gwangjin, Seoul. The writer took home an extra-size seasoned dakgangjeong in medium spicy and an order of fried chicken gizzards, and because Mr. Kim's Chicken fries everything a second time the moment an order comes in, the crunch held up even cold the next day. With tteok (rice cake) fritters in the box and enough sauce left for chibap (rice stirred into the sauce), Mr. Kim's Chicken is a strong pick for a late-night snack or beer food in Jayang-dong.
