Hot Star

When it comes to fried chicken, Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken firmly believes that “bigger is better”. Originating at Taipei’s Shilin Night Market, this larger-than-life snack is now available in Sydney’s CBD. “With a single, whole piece of chicken breast on the bone, our chefs expertly butterfly cut the breast resulting in a 30-centimetre chicken steak,” explains owner, Lili Shi. The chicken is marinated, battered with herbs and spices, fried and wrapped in a paper bag to eat on-the-go. Customers can also add different seasonings including chilli, seaweed, curry and plum salts.
