Wanhua District, Taipei City｜胖老爹美式炸雞 西門店

In my opinion, this is the BEST fried chicken 👍🏻 Freshly fried so need to wait awhile but definitely worth it. Only takeaway so an option is to live in a hotel within walking distance so that can buy and bring back to eat. Super crispy skin and wonderfully tender meat which still retains its juiciness. My favourite is wings though i'm sure the other parts are equally delicious as well. Fried fish stick and sotong balls were nice add ons. A must-eat for me whenever i visit Ximending.

Type of restaurant: Fast food, fried food Overall (5/5): Recommended if you like fried chicken - meat is juicy and skin is flavourful. Food (5/5): Chicken is fried after ordering.

Others: You can have the meal in the Family Mart beside this shop.

It's very good. I love fried chicken. It's my favorite food. If you're used to KFC, this is more peppery and the skin is lighter / fluffier (while still being crispy). Which I think is great! And the chicken is juicy without creating puddles. Very nice. Also got the snack platter - taro, sesame, scallion, fish. Everything was cooked perfectly; crunchy on the outside, juicy or chewy on the inside. You can't go wrong here. Thanks!
