Wonjo Sinpo Chicken Gangjeong's Special Recipe: Fried once in two different types of oil, boasting exceptional crispiness. Chili oil is used in the sauce instead of chili paste, creating a more intense and spicy flavor without the pasty texture. The addition of Cheongyang chili peppers leaves a tingling yet refreshing aftertaste.
Unique Features and Important Notes
The original restaurant, with a history dating back to 1985, is considered one of the top 3 chicken gangjeong spots in Incheon.
The chicken gangjeong is quite spicy, so it's not recommended for those who can't handle spicy food. Also, ordering "chicken gangjeong" automatically means bone-in chicken; you must specify "boneless" if you prefer boneless chicken.
Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes on weekends. There are separate lines for takeout and dine-in, so getting in the wrong line means having to wait all over again.
Fairly spicy due to the use of chili oil and Cheongyang chili peppers.
Limited parking space due to its location in the market.
In his reunion after 7 years, Jun Hyun-Moo expressed his satisfaction with the unchanging taste, calling it a "hot spot boasting nationwide recognition." He especially emphasized the savory and crispy basics of the fried chicken and the fantastic collaboration of the spicy chicken gangjeong.
Tips for Visiting and Making Reservations
Time Selection: Weekday afternoons or evenings have relatively shorter wait times.
Line Separation: Based on the market entrance, the left line is for takeout, and the right line is for dining in.
Parking: It is recommended to use the Dapdong Cathedral public parking lot (2 hours free).
Spice Warning: You can request it to be less spicy, so please mention it in advance.
Online Order: Delivery orders are also available on Thingul Market.
Wonjo Sinpo Chicken Gangjeong, one of the top 3 chicken gangjeong restaurants in Incheon genuinely recognized by Jun Hyun-Moo, is a place with "unique characteristics and charm, as if it were a Warring States period." The crispy and spicy chicken gangjeong, made with tradition and a special recipe since 1985, offers a taste you won't forget once you've had it.
However, please plan your visit considering the weekend waiting times and the spiciness. In particular, if you are not good at eating spicy food, we recommend asking for it to be less spicy or choosing fried chicken.
