Stan42 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Now that the crowd has died down I finally went and tried it. My verdict: -For 139thb the portion is, as they advertize, XXL. But! a good part consists of bones making it very hard to chew off the surrounding meat without getting your hands dirty. -It's ultra crispy, on the salty side, and tastes like... well... chicken. -There is no sauce. You don't just serve dry fried chicken without any sauce! -All in all, I prefer KFC over HotStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Tastes like chicken. Korean fried chicken is very crispy as well and is not served with any sauce. That's because the flavor is cooked in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dubai just opened a Jokibee, Filipino fast food ... queues were upwards of 4 or 5 hours for a few weeks. Calming down now Pfft, 15 minutes to an hour ... that's not a queue, gentlemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the flavor is cooked in! I'm not talking about the flavor. I'm saying it's very dry and could use some sauce. It's like eating a burger without ketchup or mayonnaise, too dry.

seank Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Was passing by a few sundays back when the Q was small. Its basically an extra large fried chicken snitzel with extra spices if you want. Its tastes good but its just fast (not so fast) food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about the flavor. I'm saying it's very dry and could use some sauce. It's like eating a burger without ketchup or mayonnaise, too dry. If you're eating a plain burger and think it's too dry then I would suggest that the burger was overcooked. Similar principle applies with fried chicken....should be crisp outside, juicy inside.

In that case: The HotStar XXL Chicken was overcooked. There was nothing juicy about it at all. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Interesting, not tried it here but had it last year in ximending in Taipei, it was delicious. Chicken was tender, great seasoning and certainly no bones. It's really sufficient for two people to share. Reading some of the reports I wonder if they've skimped on some of the quality control here? Also, in Taipei it was about half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Dubai just opened a Jokibee, Filipino fast food ... queues were upwards of 4 or 5 hours for a few weeks. Calming down now Pfft, 15 minutes to an hour ... that's not a queue, gentlemen Jolibee... Mercy. Fast Food chain from an asian nation with quite possibly the worst 'cuisine' of all asia.Saw the queue for that XL chicken, and tried the Bon Chon chicken which was also somewhat of a fad. Rubbish. And their coleslaw made KFC coleslaw taste like genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think Korean Fried chicken is not a fad. I think it's well established in a number of countries and will persist. Sure some brands of it may rise and fall, but the concept is a keeper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_fried_chicken Some examples of ACTUAL fad foods: Hamburgers with buns made of ramen Cronuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Bon Chon is delicious. Haven't tried this new stuff yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The stuff in the OP is definitely not Korean style fried chicken. I haven't tried it either but by appearances it's an Asian GIANT SCHNITZEL. That concept does have international potential, for sure. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
