The Haenam chicken course meal transforms a fresh chicken raised in the countryside into a course meal including sashimi, grilled, boiled chicken, stir-fried, and porridge dishes.

The menu features various cooking methods such as tender sliced chicken breast sashimi, stir-fried chicken with gochujang seasoning, grilled chicken with all the fat removed and crisped, nourishing boiled chicken made from a whole chicken, and a clean finish with chicken porridge.

As a representative food of Haenam, a chicken village has been formed around Haenam-eup and Samsan-myeon, where about ten places serve chicken and duck dishes.

Selected as the sweet winter theme for December, P and SP are potato bread and sweet potato bread made from Haenam’s potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The chewy dough is filled with potatoes and sweet potatoes respectively, and the bread shapes faithfully reproduce the shapes of potatoes and sweet potatoes. They can be found mainly at Cafe Damidang and Bakery Financier in Haenam-eup.

The recommended tourist destinations of the month are selected every month by Jeollanam-do based on themes, from tourism resources recommended by cities and counties, through expert review by travel journalists and writers.

Haenam has been selected as a recommended tourist destination four times in the province, the most in the region, including Seoladawon with the theme of Yesang Namdo in January and Daheungsa Jangchun Valley with the water play theme in July.
