The weather continues to be hot and humid every day. Adequate nutritional intake is more important than ever these days when it's easy to lose strength due to sweating a lot. Therefore, it is also a time when various ingredients that are good for replenishing physical strength, such as abalone and octopus, are being promoted, and it goes without saying that “samgyetang,†which is made from chicken, is the most popular summer health food among them.
Chicken is a high-protein food rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, perfect for easily boosting energy, and is good for men and women of all ages because it has thin fiber and is easy to digest. From “samgyetang,†where you can enjoy cooking tender chicken, “mizutaki,†where you can enjoy the chewy flavor of the meat by taking a large chicken, and “Chicken Hanmari,†which is easy to enjoy as a course with plenty of soup stock and even rice noodles. Let's take a look at chicken dishes that are both tasty and energizing for the summer.

A samgyetang specialty store that opened in 1983. Props and objects with traces of time are worthy of stimulating the retro sensibility of the lonely MZ generation. The signature is “Red Black Rice Samgyetang,†which is filled with dark brown rice and has the same color as red bean paste. When I eat the thick soup and soft-boiled chicken meat together, I feel full of energy. It is a soup flavor that focuses on the natural flavor of chicken without being strong, and can be eaten with seasoning by adding salt that is served separately. A beautiful samgyetang restaurant with an unchanging appearance.

2. The summer health course meal is a chicken, and Jonggak's “Centurion Chickenâ€

A chicken specialty store located close to Jonggak Station (Line 1). After passing through the simple entrance, you might be surprised to see customers filling up the store. While waiting for the chicken soaked in plenty of broth to cook, you can eat the soft mochi first, then dip the chicken in the seasoning sauce. The tangy sauce, which contains red pepper powder and mustard, adds a splash color to a bland meal. The more the soup is boiled, the deeper the flavor comes out, and if you enjoy it with kale noodles and sari, it's a perfect meal right up to the end.

â–²Location: 100-1 Sambong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
â–²Business hours: 11:00-22:00 (B·T 15:00 – 17:00), closed on Sundays
â–²Price: 24,000 won for one chicken, 50,000 won for fried chicken soup (large), 2,000 won for noodles
â–²Review (Shikigami Kirin Grim): Reservations are required for lunch. Light a chicken that has already been placed on it. If there are one or two mochi left after eating, they will shout for more rice cakes (basic mochi isn't enough). After eating, if you order 2 noodles for 3 people, that's great!
3. Where chewy rice cake meets samgyetang, Mok-dong's “Garang Nurungji Samgyetangâ€

It is a famous samgyetang specialty store in Mokdong that is always crowded with customers visiting in the summer. They sell mizutaki in the shape of a hot pot along with samgyetang, and it's a fun place to choose from. The signature menu, “Nurungji Samgyetang,†contains chicken and pieces of rice cake in a rich broth. The characteristic of savory rice cake is that it transforms into a chewy texture while containing soup. You can enjoy the spicy and sour lettuce toppings, Chinese cabbage kimchi, and pickled garlic and gochujang, which refreshingly wash your mouth in the middle.

A samgyetang specialty store located in Bukchon Hanok Village. The path leading to the store through the large, green courtyard is refreshing. The store is large, so it's a great place to visit as a group. The samgyetang, which appears warm in a boiling earthenware pot, is thoroughly cooked and the tender flesh is well separated to make it easy to eat. Chinese cabbage kimchi, kakuteki, and pickled garlic, which are served as side dishes, go well with samgyetang. “Ginseng tempura†is famous as a side dish, but if you enjoy it with honey, the bitterness will be neutralized, making it a great delicacy to enjoy.

5. Enjoy light or spicy Gongneung “Chicken Hanmari Gongneung Main Store†in Gongneung

The store is located along the boulevard between Gongneung Station and Taerung Station. There is weighting almost every day during peak hours. The large pot contains plenty of clear broth, and the tasty chicken is cut right at the table. It's fun to make your own sauce by adding vegetables, garlic, and seasoning to soy sauce while the soup is boiling. If you have any tips, it's a good idea to add the minced garlic you give at the beginning a little bit before the soup boils. Regulars also enjoy the spiciness of chili sauce mixed into the soup.

â–²Location: 1020 Dongil-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul
â–²Opening hours: 11:30 – 22:00 every day
â–²Price: Chicken 23,000 won, Kalguksu sari 2,000 won, potato sari 2,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Shikigami 538435): On cold days like these days, I want a chicken with warm broth more than chicken. One chicken in Gongneung-dong is a chain, so it seems like every town has one. The clear soup is the essence of the country. It's delicious whether you roll it up or eat it with kalguksu sari. The soup is so delicious that it's a place I always go to. If you add sari and eat it, the portion is plentiful, so no matter how many people eat it, they won't run out of food.
