Dakkochi (Grilled Chicken Skewers)
Seoul Travel Guide / November 21, 2016 
Image credit: travel oriented If you’re the conservative type of foodie who needs to get warmed up to foreign flavors, dakkochi, or grilled chicken skewers, is a great way to jumpstart a Korean culinary adventure.
Dakkochi is something familiar yet different – tender pieces of chicken fillet glazed with an assortment of sauces and marinades. Of course, you’re bound to come across sauces so spicy, you’ll be compelled to take a swig of beer – not that you would mind.
Most of Seoul’s street food on a stick is really cheap, and dakkochi is no exception. You can finish a dozen sticks without making a big dent on your day’s street food allowance – and you can easily finish a dozen sticks, mind you.
