While Malaysia has a lot of delicious food that we can indulge in, there’s bound to be one comfort food that is well loved by everyone from all walks of life. That is none other than fried chicken, an irresistibly yummy breaded dish that is super delicious, no matter how you cook it.
Nothing is more delightful than biting into a succulent piece of freshly-cooked fried chicken and you know it! However, being a devoted fan of fried chicken isn’t easy. After all, we need to face these oh-so-true struggles on a regular basis!
1. Wanting to eat it every day but you can’t
Well, not unless you want to gain weight like crazy and be extremely unhealthy that is! It is important to consume a balanced diet even if your deepest desire is to just gobble up those yummy chicken all day every day. I know that feel, bruh!
2. Feeling betrayed by a piece of chicken that’s too hot
You know that satisfying feeling when you see a plate of fried chicken fresh off the fryer but when you want to bite into that awesome crispy skin, it burns your tongue? How come something I love so much betrayed me?
3. Being impatient while waiting for the chicken to cool down
So you give it another chance and wait for it to cool down before attempting another bite but in the meantime, you’re just drooling while smelling that distinctive fried chicken aroma. Eh, faster leh!
4. When fried chicken is getting so mahal that you can’t always afford them
With the rising cost of living, prices for everything are increasing too, so indulging in some heavenly fried chicken can only be a treat every now and then. Oh well, at least we can be healthier! Or pretend to be.
5. When the fried chicken skin isn’t crispy
You thought that it would taste divinely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside but all your hopes and dreams are crushed when you realise that the skin is soggy instead. Oh, the horror!
6. Too many choices, too little time (or just afraid of getting too fat!)
Nowadays, we are simply spoilt for choice when it comes to different kinds of fried chicken options available out there. From Korean and rempah to Japanese and Taiwanese flavours, we just can’t decide which one to try first!
7. When the fried chicken you ordered is a complete disappointment
It smells and looks amazing so you can’t wait to sink your teeth into it but after taking that first bite, it tastes nothing like it looks so you are sadly let down by it. Why you liddis, fried chicken? Why?!
8. Resolving to cut down on fried chicken because it’s unhealthy
You’ve read somewhere that fried chicken is bad for you and can practically make your arteries clog, so you decide to stop eating it. Is it worth it to live a longer life by not eating fried chicken?
9. Finally, you decide that you don’t care because #friedchickenislife
Yes, all my fellow fried chicken lovers! We shall continue to dream about living in a perfect world where we can eat fried chicken all day, errrday!
All this finger-licking good fried chicken talk has made me crave for a bucket of steaming hot fried chicken right now! Wanna get one with me? 😉
