Its SHU is measured to be 4,404 in the original package. Its literal translation means: stir-fried chicken noodles. It does not have a soup satchet, unlike most ramyeons. It only has a sauce satchet, like a stir-fry. Its flakes are made up of dried laver and sesame seeds.

History
In 2011, when ramen based on soup was popular, Samyang Food President Jung Soo Kim passed by Myeongdong Road and found that people were crowded in spicy chicken restaurant by chance. She got an idea here and thought that spicy can be tasty, and he started to develop buldak-bokkeum-myeon with the motto of "Spicy, Chicken, Fried Noodles". The marketing department and the research institute staff tasted delicious spicy foods such as roast chicken, lobster beef, chicken wings, etc. Also, they tasted and researched various kinds of spicy peppers in quite a bit of the country and tried hard to develop a 'delicious and spicy sauce'. In addition, tasting about two tons of hot sauce and 1,200 chicken dishes, and after 12 months of research, they found the best mixing ratio and developed the fried chicken fried noodles.
