Best Korean fried chicken in Singapore
Nothing quite hits the spot like a fried chicken feast with friends. Crispy, sticky, sweet, and savoury, Korean fried chicken ranks top on the list for many of us. Gather your chingu and head to one of these eateries and restaurants for the best Korean fried chicken in Singapore, including hawker and halal options.
1. Daily Beer
If good vibes and a convenient location are important to you, Daily Beer will not disappoint. With hundreds of outlets in Korea, there are two in Singapore at the time of writing—one in Telok Ayer, and the other at Chijmes in City Hall. First-timers can try the ordinary-looking yet unique Angry Bird Crunch (from $30++), which is essentially classic fried chicken made crispier with corn flakes, and tastier with the addition of garlic and sweet-spicy seasoning. If you’re all about the spice, though, there’s nothing like the Angry Bird Red (from $30++), where every piece of fried chicken is tossed and evenly coated in a fiery house-made sauce. We recommend getting some Cheese Balls ($12++ for five) on the side, stuffed with hot, stretchy cheese.Â

2. Daily Chicken
ICYMI: Daily Beer launched a family-friendly concept, Daily Chicken, with three different outlets. The offerings here are slightly different from the ones at Daily Chicken, as you get to try a combination of rice or noodles with fried chicken in the form of the Daily Chicken Chi-Bap Combo ($15++) or Daily Chicken Chi-Myeon Combo ($13++). Alternatively, consider the Crispy Soy Sauce Black Gangjeong ($18++), an interesting combination of bite-sized chicken bits coated in a sweet-sticky sauce topped with peanuts and chewy rice cakes.

3. Waker Chicken
Waker Chicken is a popular Korean fried chicken chain with several outlets islandwide, mainly in the heartlands. Prices start from $13.50 for half chicken (seven pieces) in the Original Crispy flavour. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, get the Honey Butter ($15.50 for half) or Sweet Spicy ($14.50 for half) instead. The chicken is said to be seasoned overnight and fried to order, so you can expect fresh and juicy fried chicken each time. FYI, Waker Chicken is halal-certified.

4. NeNe Chicken
Another popular halal joint is NeNe Chicken. The fast food chain is most famous for their Crispy Chicken, priced from $7.90 for two pieces. If you’re in a group, we recommend getting the whole chicken for $30.90 instead, best paired with one of the condiments for an additional $0.90. There are five to choose from, including Soy, Cheese, Hot Bling. There are Tenders (from $5.90), too, for those who want a hassle-free dining experience.Â

5. Kko Kko Na Ra
Kko Kko Na Ra is an OG in Singapore’s Korean fried chicken scene. The CBD restaurant is said to be the first to introduce garlic soya-flavoured chicken wings and drums in Singapore, prepared with hand-crushed garlic and Korea-imported ingredients. The fried chicken is available in a Combo Set (from $35++), which gives you three different flavours of original, garlic, and sweet-spicy. Alternatively, try the Mala Chicken (from $35++) if you can handle spice.

6. Pink Candy
For affordable Korean fare with a view, check out Pink Candy, a breezy rooftop restaurant in Beauty World. Get their Fried Chicken Wing ($16.90), or take it up a notch with the Honey Soy Fried Chicken Wing ($16.90) or Sweet-Spicy Fried Chicken Wing ($17.90). Chicken aside, there are plenty of dishes to choose from, such as Kimbap ($8.90) and Spicy Rice Cake ($12.90).Â

7. Phat Fingers
Phat Fingers serves its signature Korean fried chicken with four sauces, including the traditional Soy Garlic and crowd-favourite Honey Butter. For something punchy and spicy, we recommend the Nuclear Spicy instead. For a boneless option, opt for Tenders ($9.90), but we still think that Wings ($11.90 for six) are the best option here. You can consider pairing the chicken wings with some Seaweed Fries ($4.50) and Kimchi Slaw ($2.50) for the best experience.Â

8. Hanjip Korean Grill House
For Korean BBQ and fried chicken in Clarke Quay, head to Hanjip Korean Grill House. This sleek restaurant does a delicious rendition of Korean Fried Half Chicken ($30++) in flavour choices of Original, Soy, Spicy, and Snow Cheese. There’s also purely the wings ($28++) option if you prefer. On top of premium barbecue sets, they also have other Korean favourites including Army Stew ($35++), Ginseng Chicken ($38++), and Seafood Pancake ($25++), perfect for sharing with your chingu.

9. JINJJA CHICKEN
JINJJA CHICKEN needs no introduction. This popular halal-certified eatery has multiple branches across the country, which probably means you would have come across their store one way or another. Six pieces of the wings are priced at $8.90, while six pieces of drumsticks cost $18.50. If you’re planning a gathering, you can even order up to 100 pieces at $105.90.Â

10. BHC Chicken
When BHC Chicken first reached our shores in 2023, expectations for this popular Korean fried chicken brand were sky-high. Thankfully, it seems like Singaporeans have been loving their offerings. A personal recommendation would be the Retro (from $18.90++), which is essentially your classic fried chicken. Simple this dish may be, there’s really not much to complain about; it’s crispy, juicy, and moreish. If you’d like to try their signature chicken, give the adorably named Bburinkle (from $18.90++) a try. This one’s coated in a cheese and vegetable seasoning, giving it a lovely sweet-salty balance of flavours.Â

11. Oven & Fried Chicken

Oven & Fried Chicken has been around in Singapore since 2014. The Korean fried chicken chain coats its meat in rice flour instead of regular wheat flour for a crispier bite. There’s the Fried Wings ($21++ for half) and Fried Boneless Thighs ($24++ for half) if you want a classic taste. Otherwise, try the sauced-up versions such as the sweet and spicy Yang Nyeom Chicken (from $23++ for half). The chain also offers baked chicken in the form of Crunch Original (from $20++ for half) and Crunch Yang Nyeom (from $23++ for half), cooked without oil.

12. 88 Chicken

Another of our favourites on this list is 88 Chicken, a hidden store that’s just a stone’s throw away from Potong Pasir MRT Station. Regulars visit them time and time again for the Soy Chicken (from $17++), which gets you seven pieces. Do note that it’s slightly sweeter than it’s salty, with all pieces evenly coated in the viscous sauce. If you prefer the sweetness mellowed down with a bit of spice, try their Yang Nyeom (from $17++) as well. You’ll be surprised by how crispy the chicken can be even after being drenched in a sweet-spicy red sauce.
Address: 2 Tai Thong Crescent, #01-24, The Venue Shoppes, Singapore 347836

13. ICG Chicken & Burger

Korean fried chicken doesn’t always have to be expensive as proven by the wallet-friendly offerings at ICG Chicken & Burger. With a total of nine flavours to choose from, it can be quite a dilemma to make your order. If you’d like to try something new besides the Original (from $6.90) and Sweet & Spicy (from $8.90), their Creamy Onion (from $8.90) and Jalapeno (from $8.90) are great alternatives. Otherwise, you can play it safe and opt for the Cheese (from $8.90) and Sweet Garlic (from $8.90).Â

Hawker stalls specialising in Korean fried chicken are a true gem, and Jade’s Chicken is no different. You can find them either in Hougang or Toa Payoh. Fans of honey butter can visit them as you can get your hands on the Honey Butter Chicken from just $15 for seven pieces. Other flavours include Original, Soy, and Sweet Spicy.
