Large Fried Chicken
The original gigantic fried chicken snack. Imagine a chicken pounded to about a 1/4″ thick and 1′ in diameter. What’s makes the fried chicken great is the unique breading which is crunchy, light, and fluffy. The seasoning is on point and I opted for the spice powder which adds a nice kick. The only issue I have with the fried chicken is the bones are still intact – and boy are there a lot of bones. I believe without the bones the meal would be a lot cleaner and easier to eat towards the end.
HotStar is the original maker of the Large Fried Chicken. The stalls are easily noticeable with its baby blue signage. The Large Fried Chicken has become one of the most popular snacks in Shilin Night Market, with massive lines to prove it. They have a couple spots scattered around the market so it’s worth a walk around to find the shorter line. However, the line moves quickly and the ordering regiment is efficient. And for only $70NT ($2 USD), it’s definitely worth the wait as one piece is enough for a meal.
