A few years ago, I bumped to Hot Star Large Fried Chicken in Hong Kong and there were a massive queue. When you see a queue like that, you know it must be good.

This popular fried chicken is origin from the famous Shilin Night Market from Taipei, Taiwan. Established in 1992, Hot Star Fried Chicken popularity has expanded to Hong Kong and now it is in Malaysia. So far I know they opened 3 outlets, one in Subang SS15, one in Pavilion and one in Queensbay Mall Penang.

I went to the Subang outlet. My mission was simple, to try their original large fried chicken. Even though I went to Taipei in 1998 but I didn’t manage to try this so I drove to Subang just to try this.

The original large fried chicken is priced at RM 8. Judging from the size of it, it is the biggest large or XXL fried chicken in Malaysia.

The taste? Well, this is the best of the best. The meat is tender and the taste did not over run by the skin. Many of its competitor has thick crispy starchy skin but this is Hot Star’s version is thin crispy and not starchy. For that, the large fried chicken is softer and juicier.
