Beer can chicken

By Jeremy, December 3, 2014

Dripping with juicy goodness and flame-seared with a torch, beer can chicken is the dish to impress your friends with. Their mouths will be watering even as the staff prepare it on the table and slice it into juicy pieces.

The meat is really juicy, unlike those dry spring chickens you get at some Western restaurants. And you can wash it down with a shot of soju or cheongju. If you’re into beer, Korea’s latest fad Kloud is the drink of choice at this joint.

The restaurant also serves spicy chicken feet, which are VERY spicy and VERY good. Good thing there’s a generous slice of pineapple too.

How to get there:
Take the train to Mapo station (purple line) Exit 1. Turn right at the intersection in front and you’ll see a long busy street full of colourful restaurants and pubs. Walk 5 minutes past all the shops and turn left onto a quiet lane with residential buildings. The shop is at the end of the lane on the right.

Address:
닭발예찬
3-30 Tojeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea
+82 2-719-9595
