About this dakgangjeong spot near Amsa Station

Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch sits inside Amsa Market near Amsa Station and specializes in whole chicken and fried chicken. Unlike typical chicken shops, it stands out for selling a wide range of items — dakgangjeong, old-style whole fried chicken, plain fried chicken, drumsticks, wings and drumettes, fried gizzards — all at fairly reasonable prices.

Dakgangjeong comes in mild, medium-spicy, and spicy versions so you can pick your heat level. It's sold in three sizes: medium ₩9,000, large ₩13,000, and extra-large ₩17,000. When people talk about this branch, dakgangjeong is the menu item that always comes up.

The chicken is fried crisp first and then tossed in sauce, so it's best enjoyed warm — but it also travels well as a snack or late-night bite once you've packed it up to take home.

And the drumsticks — being able to buy just drumsticks on their own like this? That's a real privilege! haha
