If you ever find yourself near SEOUL’S EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL and craving something fried, comforting, and seriously satisfying, let me point you to a local favorite: HANSHIN CHICKEN.
What’s in a Name?
The name comes from the nearby HANSHIN APARTMENTS, but what really matters here is the chicken—and oh, what a chicken it is.
Sure, fried chicken may have come from the U.S. originally, but I honestly wonder if anyone loves it more than KOREANS do.
Here, it’s not just food—it’s a lifestyle.
We even have a special word for eating chicken with beer: “CHIMAEK”—“CHI” from chicken and “MAEK” from maekju, the KOREAN word for beer.
Now back to HANSHIN CHICKEN.
What you’ll get is classic KOREAN-STYLE CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN—perfectly golden, freshly fried, and still warm when it hits your table.
The coating is crisp but not greasy, and once you take a bite, you’re met with juicy, flavorful meat that practically bursts with moisture.
Simple? Yes.
Satisfying? Absolutely.
