🏅 Blue Ribbon–Selected Charcoal-Grilled Chicken in Bukchang-dong: Bukchang Dakgui

We confidently recommend Bukchang Dakgui, a charcoal-grilled chicken restaurant in Bukchang-dong selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey, to anyone who wants a fun evening with lean grilled chicken instead of pork or beef.

If you are staying around City Hall or Namdaemun, we recommend Bukchang Dakgui, on the 1st floor of Brillante Deoksugung in the Bukchang-dong food alley, for a lively dinner.

Chicken pre-grilled in the kitchen is grilled once more over charcoal at your table, with three basic flavors: salt, marinated and soy sauce.

Special cuts such as chicken neck, inner skirt and heart, as well as boneless charcoal-grilled chicken feet, are popular, and refreshing Bukchang makguksu or chicken hangover soup make a great finish.
