Lim Sung-geun Traditional Chicken Pogae

Grilled with beef suet instead of cooking oil for a rich, savory flavor, then simmered in a special soy sauce and vinegar sauce—this is a Joseon Dynasty-style traditional chicken dish.

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The key ingredient, beef suet (kidney fat), can be found at butcher shops and provides an unmatched depth and richness that regular cooking oil cannot match.
  • The vinegar in the sauce quickly coagulates proteins, locking in the chicken’s juices and significantly enhancing its chewy texture.
  • During the final step, when pouring in the sauce, keep the heat at maximum to prevent the flour mixture from becoming sticky and ensure it adheres cleanly and neatly to the chicken.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to try something different and historically rich instead of everyday delivery chicken.
  • People who want to make clean, hassle-free fried chicken using just one pan without the mess of splattering oil.
