Fried Chix 🐣

A large piece of chicken thigh slathered generously with salted egg yolk sauce. The sauce packed a potent salted egg flavour and I liked that it isn't too milky or creamy. The puddle of sauce did make the batter on the chicken soggy but... You really can't have your cake and eat it. More sauce > chicken gets soggy more quickly. I will take extra sauce any day. My chicken first came raw on the inside but the staff was apologetic and promptly replaced the whole dish for me, which I appreciated. The chicken was tender but I found the cut of meat to be a little too fatty. This resulted in quite a greasy mouthfeel, especially since it is deep fried. However, the sesame slaw on the side was a good palate cleanser. I think this is a decent dish given the generous portion and affordable price ($12 nett), so long as you don't let the hype surrounding salted egg yolk anything affect your expectations.

Did you know Chicken Up has a new outlet at Jurong East MRT station? Yes, right at the station! How convenient for picking up some fried chicken on your way home! 加料, anyone? 😁 (These were yummy btw. Could have left it in the marinade a bit longer, but I loved the batter, which was nice and thin, and stayed crisp till I got home!)

Chicken was flavourful and delightfully soft and juicy, plus the batter was nicely crisp. I expected more chicken though - this was probably only half a spring chicken. I was underwhelmed by the sides of succotash and accompanying sauces. The sauces, a deviled ranch dressing and homemade catsup tasted very ordinary. :(

I loved these wings! Super light and crispy battered wings that are tender and juicy inside, well seasoned with a savoury sweet marinade.

These huge chicken thighs were so tender and juicy! They were lightly seasoned, and coated in a thin, crisp batter. I didn't mind the light tasting chicken (because they were sooooo juicy) but I think it would go better with the subtly sweet honey sauce if it were saltier. I found the homemade coleslaw to be an acquired taste, because it was spiced rather strongly. Very different from the usual, sweet and creamy coleslaw. This came with a humongous side of fries too (not pictured).

Bestest fried chicken I've had yet! We shared the 6 piece drumsticks set that comes with two small fries and two drinks. The drumsticks were coated in a very crispy and well seasoned batter and were still juicy on the inside! They stayed crispy for a very long time too (as I eat really slowly hahaha). For fries, we had the seaweed flavour and kimchi flavour. They were crisp and had a strong taste of potato, which I liked, but the kimchi ones were just sour and did not really taste of kimchi.
