Dakgangjeong shop in Uijeongbu with a 10-minute preorder: Dalgom's
Dalgom's is a dakgangjeong (Korean sweet crispy fried chicken) takeout and delivery shop inside Jeil Market in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi. After work the writer and her husband took home 1.5 chickens for 24,000 won in three flavors — sweet, garlic soy and Bburinkle — and the chicken stayed crisp outside and juicy inside because Dalgom's fries it in several rounds. Order about 10 minutes ahead and the box is ready the moment you arrive, which makes Dalgom's an easy stop on the commute home.
