Overview
Padak originated from a traditional market in Jochiwon-eup, Sejong City, and gradually gained popularity across the nation and beyond,[7][8] being offered in various fried chicken shops and franchises.[9][10] The dish tends to be popular in spring as scallions can help relieve the stress accumulated during winter.[10][citation needed] Padak recipes may vary between individuals and restaurants, but generally it involves marinating chicken meat with a batter that includes salt, pepper, and minced garlic, deep-frying the chicken, then finally adding scallion and a seasoning sauce on top.[11][12][7]
