# Sinhodeung Jangjakgui, Goyang: Oak-Fired Chicken Stuffed with Rice, Served Flat on Foil

*The chicken lying flat on a foil-lined pan, November 2021.*

Sinhodeung Jangjakgui (신호등장작구이), the Seooreung (서오릉) main branch in Goyang (고양), Gyeonggi Province, serves *dak jangjak-gui* (닭 장작구이), a whole chicken stuffed with rice and roasted over oak firewood. The restaurant stands in the Seooreung area of Deogyang District, and Esquire Korea's August 2021 guide to a day out around the royal tombs calls it the area's representative restaurant.

Sinhodeung (신호등) means traffic light, and a September 2024 food column on Gyeonggi Province's website says the shop is named after the traffic light in front of it.

## Dak jangjak-gui: the chicken pressed flat

In my photo from November 2021, the chicken lies flat on a round pan lined with foil, its skin reddish brown with a few sesame seeds. Esquire Korea describes the method: the chicken is stuffed, skewered and turned over a strong oak fire, then pressed flat on a hot iron plate lined with foil. The Gyeonggi column adds that the glutinous rice inside sears into *nurungji* (누룽지), scorched rice, on that plate.

*Pale rice mixed with black grains beside the chicken on the foil-lined pan.*

The rice in my photo is pale and glossy with black grains mixed in, plus one glossy dark-brown round piece. Esquire Korea says the stuffing has seven ingredients, among them glutinous rice, black rice, ginseng, jujube and pine nuts, and describes a faint oak aroma, a crisp outside, a moist inside and a mild flavor. Three Polle reviewers call the chicken or the portion small, and one of them says an average adult could finish a whole bird alone.

## Dak-kkochi skewers and a bowl of noodles

*Skewers glazed in a red-brown sauce and sprinkled with sesame.*

*Dak-kkochi* (닭꼬치), chicken skewers, are glazed and sprinkled with sesame in my photo, with what looks like scallion between the pieces. A Polle reviewer says they come in spicy and teriyaki versions that can be ordered half and half.

*A skewer held above the bowl; the noodles beneath are thin and dark.*

A stainless-steel bowl in one photo is heaped with shredded cabbage over a dark red sauce, and a similar bowl in another holds thin dark noodles in the sauce with a few pale shreds that look like cabbage. Polle and K-Trip Tips list *makguksu* (막국수), buckwheat noodles, but I can't tell from the photos whether this bowl is that dish.
