Healthy and Delicious Antibiotic-Free Grilled Chicken with Spicy Sauce

Chicken: A Korean Comfort Food

Chicken is a beloved food in Korea, enjoyed for its delicious taste and convenience. However, concerns about the use of antibiotics in chicken farming have led many people to seek out healthier alternatives. One option is to cook with antibiotic-free chicken, which is raised without the use of antibiotics. Another option is to choose grilled chicken over fried chicken, as grilled chicken is lower in fat and calories.

 

History of Chicken in Korea

Chicken has a long history in Korea, dating back to ancient times. Various forms of chicken dishes have been cherished for generations, from the nourishing Samgyetang to the simple and elegant Baeksuk.

 

In the 1960s, a new type of chicken dish emerged: the "Jeongigui Tongdak" or electric grilled whole chicken. This was followed by the introduction of fried chicken in the 1970s, which quickly gained popularity along with soy sauce chicken in the 1980s.

 

In 1982, Pelicana Chicken made history by introducing the first Yangnyeom Chicken, or Korean-style spicy sauce chicken. The origin of Yangnyeom Chicken is a matter of debate, with both Mexicana Chicken and Pelicana claiming the title.

 

The Rise of Grilled Chicken

While fried chicken is delicious, it can be high in calories and fat. Grilled chicken, on the other hand, is a healthier option as it is cooked without oil. It is also a good source of protein and various vitamins and minerals.
