SHUCKED OYSTER BAR (Cronulla)

What’s better than biting into a melt-in-your mouth tender chicken drumstick coated with a crisp, golden crust? Biting into that with a panoramic view of the sun setting over Cronulla beach and live music tickling your ears with your taste buds occupied. The chicken at Shucked Oyster Bar burst with flavours from a combination of coconut cream, buttermilk and lemongrass, giving it a tangy flavour that undercuts the density of the chicken coating. It’s nothing short of a match made in heaven.

MOIM JAPANESE KITCHEN (Kirrawee)

Try something different from the traditional schnitzel chicken burger or southern fried chicken at Moim Japanese Kitchen, where it offers a Japanese swing on the classic fried chicken. Although the fried chicken range on the menu is limited, each dish has something different to offer, whether that's a chicken katsu sushi roll or a pan-fried spicy chicken. The sweet and sour chicken is always a big hit and the flaky, crunchy breading of the chicken katsu will have you drooling.

HOT STAR (Hurstville)

Originated in Taiwan, Hot Star has quickly become one of the most popular take-away fried chicken chains in Sydney. Maybe that’s due to the long and arduous process each chicken piece undergoes before being cooked to order and served piping hot. After being marinated for at least 12 hours, the chicken is crumbed and deep fried before being dusted off with a range of spices. Not only that, but the schnitzel pieces come in larger-than-life portion sizes. Also, don’t forget the curly and sweet potato fries!

Location: Shop 5, Hurstville Centre, 225 Forest Road, Hurstville NSW 2220
