Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken 豪大大雞排 origins from Taipei, Taiwan and is well known for its huge piece of fried chicken. The chicken is fried upon order to maintain the moisture in the meat, while outside is super crispy.Currently there was a 1-for-1 promotion for the signature large fried chicken at $4.90 using the ION mobile application till 31 July 2016. One can select the flavour topping for the fried chicken. I had selected seaweed and garlic, which both smelt very good. The chicken was juicy and was not overwhelmed by the flavouring. Beware of the bones while eating. There was huge bones in the cutlet.

Finally tried the hot star original large fried chicken for $4.50. Chilli powder and seasoning were added. I felt that it was very powdery (probably didn't put the seasoning properly?). There was bone in the chicken though :/ I loved that the batter was thin and the chicken meat was thick enough to be tasted and not masked by thick batter. It was tender and moist as well. It was a very large piece and was quite filling as a snack. It's comparable to the famous shilin chicken too but i wouldn't buy it if there's a queue.

Garlic Chicken - $4.50. I take away their large fried chicken, this time I opted for garlic seasoning. Their fried chicken was really large, until I had to divide my eating session into some parts haha. The only thing I dislike from Hot Star is that their chicken is not boneless. In fact, I found some cartilage inside the chicken. Nevertheless, the chicken overall was enjoyable. It was crispy, juicy, and the garlic seasoning was strong.

Was starving in town one day and didn't really want to sit down anywhere for food because the queue everywhere were horrible. Thought of Hotstar being nearby and decided to get a chicken for my lunch! Like all the crispy chicken served here, the Lemon BBQ Chicken ($4.90) is huge! Huge enough to cover my face, considering I have a pretty big face too. The lemon BBQ sauce reminds me of the KFC Korean crunch, not that they are exactly the same but they do taste similar, both great at different depth. This one was crispy with some good flavoured skin and flesh, love that they don't heavily coat the meat with flour like its competitors. Love it.

If you have been to Taipei, you will know this famous Hot Star Hao Da Ji Pai. It's super famous and absolutely delicious!Look at how big it is compared to the straw.I also prefer how thinly they coated their chicken with flour batter which means more meat! No cheating like some of the other Ji Pa stalls which are almost all flour and hardly any meat.I ordered the Original Ji Pa just is nicely deep fried and not oily. They served the Ji Pa pipping hot but I do feel that sometimes they put too much seasoning powder on it and it's too overwhelming. I was really happy that I got a piece of soft bone inside of my Ji Pa. Really crunchy & delicious!
