Monga Fried Chicken
Most people know Korean Fried Chicken as the most famous one around. However, before that got popular, the Taiwanese counterpart had already taken the world of fried chicken by storm, and for good reason. Monga Fried Chicken is one of the absolute favourites if you're looking for ginormous chicken pieces, as thick as 2 cm, marinated in honey and sugar, double fried to make it crisper than ever. The diet can wait till tomorrow, can't it? Image Credit: Monga Fried Chicken Facebook Page

Ah Tan Wings
Got a hankering for seafood but still love your good old fried chicken? We recommend the Har Cheong Kai or prawn paste chicken wings. When talking about Har Cheong Kai, Ah Tan Wings I'd usually the first name to come to mind. Think fat and juicy chicken wings made with a crunchy prawn paste batter and luscious chicken meat with a dash of the zesty homemade chilli sauce. Chicken wings and prawns? It does not get better than that! Image Credit: Ah Tan Wings Facebook Page

Arnold's Fried Chicken
Are you in the mood for straight-up, no-nonsense fried chicken, reminiscent of your childhood? Well, Arnold's Fried Chicken has got you covered. Paper-thin batter covering the meat with standard salt and pepper as toppings and juicy meat inside hits just the spot and gives you an experience you will have a hard time forgetting. We also recommend calling for a side helping of coleslaw with some buns and gravy as the perfect accompaniment along with the chicken. Image Credit: Arnold's Fried Chicken Facebook Page

Chir Chir
If there's one kind of fried chicken you can practically write a book about, it's Korean fried chicken. Chir Chir happens to be one of the places in Singapore to have a rather unique selection of fried chicken. Pay a visit to Chir Chir and indulge in lip smacking delicacies like the Nacho Chicken, which comes with juicy tenders alongside corn tortilla chips and chicken chilli cheese sauce, and the Spicy Chilli Soy Chicken, which includes a mix of fried chicken, fried Tteokbokki, spicy chilli soy sauce and sliced almonds. Pair all this meaty goodness with a pint of beer and call it a night. Image Credit: Chir Chir Facebook Page

Wildfire Burgers
No, you did not read it wrong. Wildfire Burgers does specialise in burgers but they are equally well known for serving a mewn fried chicken. Made from the finest poultry which is fed a diet entirely consisting of grains and is never caged, all the poultry is delivered fresh every day. If you like the batter to be a little on the thinner side, this is the place to be. Pair the fried chicken up with a side helping of Tater Tots made with powdered chicken skin, or devour the Taiwanese Fried Chicken Burger which comes with two chicken thigh patties and a rather spicy chilli pepper powder. Hurry! This offer lasts only until February 28, 2022. Image Credit: Wildfire Burgers Facebook Page

Chix Hot Chicken
If you're planning to devour the chicken from Chix Hot Chicken, make sure you can handle your spice, or prepare to have your mouth on fire. The Nashville style fried chicken is prepared with a wide variety of herbs and spices. Add the world's hottest pepper to that mix and you will definitely need something to wash it down with. Don't worry about the spice so much though, as the dish is served along with bread and pickles to neutralize the heat. If you still can't handle it, call for the chicken and waffles swimming in butter and maple syrup to cool it even more. Either that or a rich, creamy chocolate milkshake should be perfect to end the meal with. Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook Page

Birdfolks
The fine folks at Birdfolks bring perfectly cooked birds from the kitchen right to your plate. Situated in Clementi, Birdfolks specializes in serving American inspired fried chicken with an Asian twist. The succulent meat is first marinated in a mixture of clove, five-spice, brown sugar and honey, and is then double battered and deep-fried. The result? A dark, caramelized crust on the outside and sweet and juicy meat on the inside. If you feel like having something else, you can totally call for the winglets which come in three different flavours, fried chicken rice bowls and curly fries. Image Credit: Birdfolks Facebook Page

They have as many as eleven different flavours: everything from local favourites like chilli crab, salted egg, mala and rojak to Javanese kecap manis and Korean gochujang. Take your pick between six pieces of chicken mod joints and drumettes or eight pieces of boneless chicken breast strips which go perfectly well with side dishes like truffle fries and cheddar sticks.
