Ok, it sounds like sacrilege, but we actually think some of the best bits at this glass-sided airy branch of Bao are not the legendary fluffy buns at all. In particular, we’re thinking of supporting acts such as the not-so-small Taiwanese chicken chop – a spiced, crumb-coated deep-fried beauty served alongside a glistening whole egg yolk floating in a soy dressing that adds some extra oomph.
In London, fried chicken joints are like pigeons, post boxes and discarded copies of the Evening Standard – they're bloody everywhere. But quantity doesn’t always ensure quality, and seeking out the best crispy chooks in the capital requires a little research.
Whether it’s southern-fried thighs, crunchy Korean-style strips, or a mountainous fillet burger you’ve got your sights set on, we’ve put in the legwork and found the best fried chicken in London for you. Hungry? Go on, get acquainted with some of the best birds in town.
