Dish type

Korean chicken (chikin)

Chicken ordered by the whole or half bird from chicken shops and for delivery: fried, oven-baked or rotisserie, plain or coated in sauce. Comes with pickled radish cubes. Many shops sell half-and-half, so one order gets you both plain fried chicken and chicken in sweet and spicy sauce. Korean fried chicken is often fried twice, which keeps the skin crisp even under the sauce. It is the classic match for beer, a pairing Koreans call chimaek, and most shops also sell boneless versions. One whole bird usually feeds two people, and shop menus list prices per bird rather than per person.
