Goobne markets itself on oven-roasting instead of frying, and the honest way to read that difference is as a texture change โ no batter, a lighter crunch โ rather than as evidence the chicken is healthier.
'Less oil' tends to get read as 'healthier chicken,' but the more accurate way to understand Goobne is as a texture difference. No batter means no thick, fried crunch โ instead you get a lighter, roasted texture, which some people prefer and others miss the crunch from. Nothing in the menu information here supports calling it a diet food outright, so it's worth not overstating that part.
The list below moves from the plain Original through spicy, garlic, and sweet-savory sauced items, ending with boneless and set options. It's useful whether you're avoiding fried food for the evening or specifically looking for a heavily sauced item.

Frequently asked questions
Is Goobne okay to eat while dieting?
The lack of batter does make it read as less greasy than fried chicken, but that alone isn't enough to call it a diet food. Heavily sauced items add sugar and sodium, so if you're watching your diet, a lighter item like Original is the more reasonable pick.
What's the spiciest option at Goobne?
Volcano is the item most often mentioned when people want heat. Gochu Basasak also has a spicy edge but is introduced as milder than Volcano โ spice tolerance varies by person.
What works well for eating with kids?
Original, with no batter and little stimulation, or Galbi Cheonwang's sweet-savory sauce are described as relatively accessible options. For Gochu Basasak or Volcano, it's worth checking how a kid reacts to spice first.
