Fresh-fried half and half chicken with draft beer at Maeil Chicken near Hyehwa

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A packed retro chicken pub between Hyehwa and Dongdaemun, handy after a Daehangno theater show. Chicken is fried to order with a thin crust, and the spicy-sweet yangnyeom sauce is less sugary than the chains.

체인점 양념처럼 달달하지 않고 살짝 매콤하고 깔끔한 맛이라 하나도 안물리고 다 먹었어요
It is not sweet like chain-store sauce but a little spicy and clean, so we finished it all without getting tired of it.
