About Shilin fried chicken

Shilin Fried Chicken is a popular Taiwanese street food originating from Shilin Night Market in Taipei. This crispy snack features boneless chicken breast or thigh, coated in a spiced flour or tapioca starch mixture and deep-fried to golden perfection. The chicken is typically marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, and five-spice powder, giving it a savory and aromatic flavor. While it's beloved for its crunch and tenderness, Shilin Fried Chicken is high in calories and fat due to the deep-frying process. It provides protein essential for muscle repair and maintenance, but excessive consumption can lead to high saturated fat intake. Served with a sprinkle of white pepper or chili powder, it offers a satisfying treat but is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
