You can choose from three dakgangjeong flavors to suit your taste: mild, medium-spicy, and spicy. Prices are ₩9,000 for medium, ₩13,000 for special, and ₩17,000 for large, so it was easy to order according to how much I needed. If you are not great with spicy food, go for mild; if you like a little kick, medium-spicy; and if you want it properly spicy, choose spicy^^ I packed one special size as a gift, and one medium size was for me! - Name: Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch - Address: Unit 105, 1F, 21 Olympic-ro 98-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00–22:00 - Parking: Public parking-lot vouchers may be available ![Store information for Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-06-106d5-778.webp) ![Store information for Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-07-1crmy-628.webp) While looking around Amsa Market, I found a dakgangjeong shop with an especially steady stream of people coming and going. There was such a variety of food and so much to browse in the market, but the sight of dakgangjeong covered in vivid red sauce really jumped out at me. The place I visited was Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch, a popular dakgangjeong spot at Amsa Market. ![Gimssi Chicken dakgangjeong shop at Amsa Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-08-2qx2s-900.webp) ## Dakgangjeong tossed in sauce right after you order What I personally liked was being able to watch the dakgangjeong being made right in front of me. A generous pile of golden-brown boneless fried chicken was ready off to one side, and even in its plain fried state, it looked wonderfully crisp. ![Prepared boneless fried chicken for dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-09-1qbrt-900.webp) Once an order came in, they put the fried chicken and rice cakes into the sauce and tossed them together right away. Watching the sauce and dakgangjeong mingle on the huge griddle made me even hungrier from the smell while I waited, haha. ![Chicken and rice cakes being tossed in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-10-opa6l-900.webp) They kept turning and tossing it so the sauce coated every piece of chicken evenly. There were rice cakes in it too, making it fun to pick out a chewy piece here and there. Even the deep color of the sauce made it look as though the flavor had really soaked in. ![Sauced dakgangjeong and rice cakes being tossed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-11-1yyhy-900.webp) ![Dakgangjeong coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-12-mbs6d-900.webp) Once it was ready, they filled the takeaway box right to the top. The glossy sauce shimmered every time a piece went in, and I wanted to sneak one before I even got home. You know that feeling, right?! ![Dakgangjeong packed in a takeaway box](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-13-1bhmd-900.webp) ## Sweet-and-spicy takeaway dakgangjeong opened at home I opened it as soon as I got home!! The moment I lifted the lid, the sweet and spicy scent of the sauce rushed up, and the glossy look was seriously appetizing. You can see in the photos, too, that the sauce coated all of the dakgangjeong evenly. ![Takeaway dakgangjeong opened at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-14-1xgjq-900.webp) ![Takeaway dakgangjeong evenly coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken/amsa-market-sweet-spicy-chicken-15-1a1vl-900.webp) It was great for picking up one piece at a time like a snack, and I think it would also pair nicely with beer as a late-night meal. ## My thoughts on this Amsa Market takeaway option Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch is a great Amsa Market dakgangjeong spot to pack up as a snack or dinner when you are there grocery shopping. I could watch it being made in the market, and it was impressive that they tossed each order in sauce right away and packed it generously. With choices from mild to spicy, it was easy to find a flavor that suited my taste, and there were plenty of other chicken options too, including boneless fried chicken and old-fashioned whole fried chicken. Above all, the sweet-and-spicy sauce coated everything evenly, so once I started picking at it at home, I kept reaching for more before I knew it.
