것The deal

영양센터 (yeong·yang·sen·teo), spelt 영양센타 on the sign, is at 명동2길 52, 171 metres from 명동역 exit 5. Visit Seoul lists it open 10:30 to 22:30 every day, closed on public holidays, with 전기구이통닭 as the dish: a whole chicken grilled on an electric rotisserie so the fat drains off, crisp outside and soft inside, and the page suggests beer with it.

More about it

Hankyoreh 21 wrote in September 2009 about the 영양센터 chicken houses that spread through Seoul in the early 1960s, chickens turning on steel rods in the window, and named the 명동 main store, with branches in 모래내 and 대치동, as the one still going.

하는 법How to

명동역 (line 4) exit 5 and two minutes on foot. One chicken is enough for two with the sides.
