Introducing Goobne Chicken, one of Korea’s representative chicken chains. Chicken is one of the most popular foods in Korea. Chimaek, which means eating chicken and beer together, is also a common word to koreans. Eating chicken and beer often appears in Korean dramas, and it has become a popular menu even for Korean tourists.
Unlike chicken fried in oil, Goobne Chicken offers grilled chicken as its main menu. The name Goobne means grilled. Because of its strong point of being healthy chicken, it is also recommended as a chicken that can be eaten during a diet. In particular, the sauces used to dip chicken in Goobne are diverse and famous, so only the sauce is commercialized and sold. Also Goobne Chicken has a chain not only in Korea but also in 10 overseas countries.

It is similar to other chicken restaurants in Korea, and most stores mainly deliver. Therefore, there may not be a separate space for dining indoors. It is recommended to Take-out and eat at your accommodation. If you want to order delivery, the orderable app is Baedal Minjok or Yogiyo, which does not support languages other than Korean and requires a phone number to sign up, so the entry barrier is high.
Most of the menu names are written with English on the menu board, but some of them, such as the side menu, were not translated into English. And you can see that there are three selection for chicken, and the cheapest one is a hole chicken with bones. In addition, you can choose the menu with boneless or wing/leg only versions. Here, the boneless menu uses chicken leg meat, so you can enjoy the taste of tender and fatty meat.
If you want to order a side menu together, I recommend trying the cheese ball.
