About Taiwanese fried chicken

Taiwanese Fried Chicken is a popular street food staple originating from Taiwan, known for its bold flavors and satisfying crunch. Typically made using bite-sized pieces of chicken thigh or breast, it is marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, and five-spice powder to enhance its aroma and taste. The chicken is coated in a sweet potato flour batter, which gives it a light, crispy texture when deep-fried. Often seasoned with salt, pepper, or chili powder, it’s sometimes served with fresh basil for added fragrance. While it’s rich in protein, Taiwanese Fried Chicken is deep-fried, making it high in calories and fat. Though it offers some vitamins and minerals from the herbs and spices, moderation is key for those watching their fat intake. Pairing with fresh vegetables or balancing it with a lighter meal can make it a delicious treat enjoyed responsibly.
