Andong jjimdak

(안동찜닭)

Andong jjimdak is a South Korean dish consisting of braised chicken that is doused in a sweet and subtly spicy sauce which is infused with honey and soy sauce. Other ingredients typically include cellophane noodles, garlic, onions, chili peppers, shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, and various vegetables.


As the name suggests, the dish originated in Andong, and among the numerous theories about its origin, the most probable version claims that it was invented at the local market as an alternative to Western-style fried chicken. The dish is now synonymous with the city, but it is also enjoyed in other parts of the country.


It is best served with rice on the side.
