Dakgangjeong

닭강정

What exactly is it?

Small fried chicken pieces are coated in a thick sweet glaze that can set around the crust. This gives a different texture from chicken eaten mainly for its just-fried crispness. Boneless versions are common, but bone-in ones also exist.

Main ingredients

Fried chicken pieces, chili or soy glaze, syrup or sugar, optional peanuts

Ordering and serving

Compare package weight and bone-in status across cups and boxes. Crushed peanuts are a common topping; an allergy request needs to cover the finishing garnish as well as the sauce.

Origins and changes

It applies a sweet, set-glaze style of gangjeong cooking to fried chicken. Market takeaway stalls and chicken shops both sell it, using chili or soy-based seasoning.
