in Korea.

Chicken in the Kitchen

Chicken in the Kitchen is a long-running independent chicken restaurant in the Hongdae area, known for crispy fried chicken and a more neighborhood-style atmosphere than the large Korean fried-chicken franchises. The menu includes classic fried chicken, garlic-soy chicken, spicy sweet chicken and cheese-topped chicken. The restaurant also offers a vegan chicken made with mushrooms and plant-based protein, giving it an unusual option for visitors who do not eat meat. The signature Bump of Chicken is a straightforward crispy fried chicken, while Red Hot Chili Peppers has a sweet-and-spicy Korean-style sauce. Garlic Soy is another popular choice, especially for visitors who want something savory rather than very spicy. Current listed prices are around ₩18,500 for the vegan chicken and ₩26,000 for the main chicken dishes.
