Manseok Dakgangjeong 만석닭강정 중앙시장점
Sokcho · Jungang Market & Dongmyeong · Meal
The shop that helped make Sokcho dakgangjeong famous is a simple takeaway counter with a steady line. Pieces of fried chicken are glazed in a sweet and spicy sauce, and you can order the sweet version if you dislike heat or the plain version if you want the crunch without sauce. A box is easy to carry for a picnic at the beach.
Lines can look long but move quickly, and cards are usually accepted. It is not a place to sit down. Prices and flavors may change, and the shop can sell out at peak times.
