The Fried Chicken Master outlet at Nex was filling up rapidly though we’d arrived just after the store had begun operations for the day. First an all-female group of JC students, then us, and another group of four ladies. I’ve always thought fried chicken would be more appealing to the guys. Has something changed? I’m more a fan of steamed chicken. And honestly, you don’t have to do much to have your chicken dish taste good. Just get fresh (not frozen) chicken from the supermarket (I like the ‘Kampung’ chicken from FairPrice), chop, clean and then steam it on its own. And it already tastes so good! I’d really just wanted to find out what the fuss about this Fried Chicken Master is all about.
There’s the chicken thigh you see above. Good choice of cut, I guess. Since I prefer the drumstick and thigh portions whenever I eat a chicken dish, e.g. chicken rice. I was a little concerned at how it looked so shiny with oil though.
It would actually be a good idea to provide hot tea instead of cold beverages like the roselle tea and lychee one we have here:
I’m not a fan of roselle.
I wondered how much oil I could remove from the piece of chicken just by slapping a piece of tissue paper onto it. And here’s the result:
As for the taste, I wish I can tell you it was super salty, or exceedingly spicy, but it was none of that. It’s just very crispy on the outside (obviously) and a little juicy within, with a hint of spice. I can’t even tell you what I like about it. It’s not so spicy that it’s really shiok, and it doesn’t have any unique flavoring that makes me go ‘wow’, such as if it’s kimchi-flavored chicken. It’s just rather oily, very crispy, quite ordinary chicken. But very popular.
I don’t know why.

The Buy-1-Free-1 Weekend Special seems like a good deal though. If you’ve been working out consistently the whole week, that is. 
I definitely felt more than a little guilty after eating this fried chicken yesterday morning. (>_<)
