小上海鹽酥雞's golden brown popcorn chicken looks great and makes a seductive crackling sound when we sink our teeth into it. The popcorn chicken comes in three flavours - original, pepper, and chili.

The queue is non stop from the time the stall opens for business in the evening till after midnight when it closes. Customers often take away NT$200-300 worth of popcorn chicken each, after waiting at least 30 minutes.

The battered and marinated pieces of chicken are fried for at least 6 minutes in a wok of hot oil at 160-170℃ - clean oil and high temperature make all the difference. The boss 劉吉祥 constantly turns and jiggles the wok of fried chicken to cook them evenly and to keep them from caking together.

Customers like 小上海鹽酥雞's popcorn chicken because the savoury outside is crackly crispy while the inside is tender juicy sweet. The golden brown popcorn chicken is not greasy - it doesn't even blot the paper bag. Many regulars have been enjoying 小上海鹽酥雞's popcorn chicken for more than 10 years.

Don't miss 小上海鹽酥雞's popcorn chicken when you are in Kaohsiung.
