Old but Tasty: Ssangyong Pyegyedak(쌍용 폐계닭)




Pyeongtaek doesn’t have many local dishes, but one of them is made of pyegyedak, which refers to old chicken. It stir-fries chicken with veggies and spicy and sweet seasoning. Pyeongtaek people love pyegyedak dishes for its chewy texture. Today, we are introducing Ssangyong Pyegyedak, one of the locals' favorite restaurants.

Here, the menu is simple: pyegyedak(폐계닭) and fried rice(볶음밥). The ingredients of the pyegyedak dish are chicken, onions, potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. It's 5,000 won extra to add giblets. The price differs by serving size. Small is 15,000 won, medium is 20,000 won, and large is 25,000 won. The spicy and sweet flavors are quite intense in this dish and can be moderated before ordering.


When you order, they bring out a container for the bones and pickled radish cubes. Note that pyegyedak has many small bones in the meat, so please be cautious when eating this menu.

Fried rice, cooked in the leftover seasoning after you're done eating the chicken, is another popular item. The sweet marinade, nutty sesame oil, and crushed gim (sea laver) make it even more delightful. Fried rice is 2,000 won for one serving. Kimchi is also added to give it a crispy texture. If you want to order more kimchi, feel free to ask the staff.
