It\u2019s the kind of chicken that makes you want to order a second (or third) round, especially when paired with an ice-cold bottle of <strong>soju<\/strong>. Whether it\u2019s spicy or sweet, it\u2019s always a winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This restaurant has become a regular stop on my trip, and I can\u2019t imagine coming to Seoul without enjoying my favorite comfort foods here.
