"Fried chicken is chicken."

Translation: 치킨은 닭고기입니다.

[RoyallyPrincess]

Is 치킨 understood as "fried chicken" specifically while 닭고기 is understood as just chicken in general?

[Ash-Fred]

Yes.

[Fishbones5]

It might be like a 살/ 밥 situation

[bavn]

쌀!

[sunliu95]

닭= chicken 고기=meat, so I think it literally means the meat of chicken.

[Timmeka16]

Its probably fried chicken is chicken meat

[PALewis88]

I think so? When used in other dishes you get things like 닭갈비 (so delicious)

[bEast892021]

That's pretty much it!

[ispina1]

yes, "닭고기" is a broad term referring to chicken meat, and <치킨> refers only to fried or barbecue dishes.

My favorite Korean chicken dish would have to be 닭갈비.

"This is not fried chicken, this is. . . . . fried chicken. Wait did you say fried chicken? I'm lost" - Eric Sohn (The Boyz)

[RozlinJathana02]

So when i order chicken ribs in a hotel it would translate as '닭갈바 한 접시주세요'
Is my sentence formation correct?

[RozlinJathana02]

I meant in a restaurant*

[LizB99361556]

Yes, or more commonly 1인분 (일인분). 닭갈비 일인분주세요.
But 닭갈비 is not actually made with chicken ribs... Anymore, at least.

[angelika1102]

Of course

[_MsLexi_]

Can someone explain this sentence to me?

[rowill88]

In Korea, traditional dishes call for 닭고기 (chicken), as that is the traditional word for the animal's meat. But fried chicken is more of a new cuisine (I think, introduced by Americans) so they picked up the English word to go along with it: 치킨. So, it is understood, when you say 치킨 you mean후라이드치킨 (fried chicken)

[JohnCiacci1]

In Korea fried chicken always comes first.
