It's difficult to go wrong with fried chicken.

To get it absolutely right, however, is also a feat.

But Monga Fried Chicken sounds like they are up for the challenge.

Established in Taiwan, the brand now has dozens of outlets in its home ground and has even ventured to Canada, the U.K., and Malaysia.

Thick chicken fillets

Monga Fried Chicken sets itself apart with its thicker-than-usual chicken fillets.

Each fillet is at least 2cm thick, which apparently ensures a juicy end-product even as the chicken is fried under high temperatures.

Instead of granulated sugar, honey is used to flavour the the chicken, which is also supposed to make the fillet tender.

The fillet is then double-fried with an optimum amount of flour for a crisp skin with no greasiness -- according to them, at least.

In Taiwan, the fillet comes in three flavours — salt and pepper, seaweed, and spicy.

Monga Singapore's Instagram account features these seasonings, so they might be the ones we're getting:

They also have deep fried chicken skin — quite the trend nowadays.

Keep a lookout on their Instagram page for more details.
