Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken
×Fried Chicken Cutlet
雞排
Why you must eat itA chicken breast bigger than your palm, pounded thin, battered and dropped in the oil to order. It comes out dusted with pepper-salt and handed over in a paper bag — uncut, a single sheet, so you carry the bag and bite in from one edge as you walk. The crust snaps hard; the inside is still steaming and the juice runs onto your fingers. Ask for "la" and the chili powder goes on heavier. A fixture at the market's edge — many people hold one while circling the other stalls. One is filling enough to split with a companion.
Hot-Star (Haoda) is the shop that spread this oversized cutlet across Taiwan, near shorthand for the night-market itself. The Shilin branch queues almost all day. The cutlet is a plate you find at any Taiwan night market, prices and quality varying by stall, but this is the one to eat first as a baseline. Fresh from the oil is everything — the crust softens as it sits, so eat it quickly if you carry it. Hours are a guide and shift with crowds and supply; confirm on the spot.
