The 5 best fried chicken dishes at Darling Harbour

Few things hit the spot in the way a tender piece of fried chicken does. We don't know exactly what it is, but the winning combination of a tender piece of chicken, eggs, flour, spices, and buttermilk is our idea of mouth-watering heaven. Whether you like yours classic and served with a pint of ice-cold beer, or Asian-inspired and rich with frangrance and spices, at Darling Harbour, we've got you covered. 

 

 

1. IIKO Mazesoba

Known for serving a new type of brothless ramen which may just be even tastier than the original, IIKO Mazesoba also serve a particularly tasty fried chicken dish. One of Japan's most popular dishes, IIKO Mazesoba's Chicken Karaage Mazesoba is just $16.90* and comes marinated with soy sauce, sake, ginger, and mirin to give it that tasty touch of sweetness.

4. Goobne

Ok, so it's not quite fried chicken, but if you're after a healthier option that really packs a punch, Goobne's Korean oven-roasted chicken ticks all the boxes. Flavoured with their secret seasoning, try their fondue chicken, which tastes just as good as it sounds.

5. KFC

When it comes to fried chicken, KFC needs no intro. Pioneers in all things fried chicken thanks to that super-secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, no list would be complete without this classic fast food eatery. You’ve probably already tried their burgers, wraps, wings, and quarter packs. So why not drop into KFC in Harbourside Shopping Centre and get your hands on some finger lickin’ good chicken, and with a family feast putting you back just $32.95*, it won't break the bank either.
