Fried chicken in Singapore spans everything from crackly har cheong gai (prawn paste chicken) at zi char joints to Korean chimaek spots and old-school hawker wings. This guide gathers well-reviewed, currently-open spots spread across the island, from Yishun and Sembawang to Chinatown, Orchard and the CBD. Opening hours, prices and outlet lists change often, so it is worth confirming with the venue before you head down.
