Cooking tips

  • The 1/2 tablespoon of doenjang and 4cm of mustard in the marinade are key ingredients that effectively eliminate chicken odor and deliver a deep, savory umami flavor.
  • Pre-cooking the cabbage and sweet potato in oil creates a protective layer that prevents excessive moisture release, avoiding a sticky or soggy texture in the final dish.
  • Keep the lid off throughout cooking and use high heat to minimize water release from vegetables, ensuring the signature crispy, grainy texture of authentic Chuncheon-style chicken galbi.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the authentic taste of a renowned Chuncheon chicken galbi restaurant at home.
  • People looking to enjoy tender, chewy chicken thighs in a spicy, satisfying one-dish meal.
