On the 21st, posts titled "A chicken restaurant that uploads daily on Instagram" appeared on various online communities and social networking services (SNS). The author, Mr. A, revealed several photos, saying, "This is the owner who diligently cleans the fryer every day to inform customers about the hygiene status."
Looking at the photos posted by Mr. A, it can be seen that the fryer has been cleaned without missing a single day since the opening. The date is recorded on each video, and the colors of the scrubbers and rubber gloves also vary. The owner of the store uses detergent to thoroughly clean the fryer. The well-maintained fryer shows no yellow grease at all.

Due to the oil used in the fryer, most chicken restaurants use oil purifiers to extend the cleaning cycle or continue using the fryer until the oil oxidizes and turns brown, cleaning the fryer together when discarding the oil. Because of this oil replacement cycle, 60 Gye Chicken promoted the concept of "frying only 60 chickens with new oil" as a marketing phrase.
Moved by the owner's efforts, a "chicken restaurant certification shot challenge" is trending among netizens. The restaurant is located in Gwangju and is already famous as a popular spot among local residents. Netizen B, who came from Gangwon-do to eat this chicken, said, "It was an excellent choice," and introduced it as "The chicken is really delicious and fresh. It is definitely different from other branches."
Netizens who heard this story responded with comments such as "It seems like this kind of restaurant is never in front of my house," "I can trust and eat here," "The positive function of SNS," "With that level of dedication, the food must have been made with care," "The oil has to be fresh for the chicken to taste good; I want to go and try it," "I understand why they are doing the challenge," and "The fried coating is a work of art."
