Eating Hatyai Fried Chicken

Eating Hatyai Fried Chicken with mr.hotsia: A flavor close to the hearts of Southern people

When talking about famous dishes of Songkhla, a port city full of cultural and flavor diversity, one of the dishes that mr.hotsia highly recommends everyone to try is “Hatyai Fried Chicken,” which is not just ordinary fried chicken but has a unique Southern style that you really can’t stop eating.

The first time mr.hotsia tasted Hatyai Fried Chicken, the aroma of spices fried to a crispy outside and tender inside won my heart from the very first bite. The dipping sauce served alongside is no joke either, with a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavor that makes this fried chicken an unforgettable favorite dish.

How to get there and the atmosphere along Hatyai streets

The difference between Hatyai Fried Chicken and regular fried chicken

What makes Hatyai Fried Chicken stand out from regular fried chicken recipes is the marination with a perfectly blended mix of spices including turmeric, garlic, pepper, and other local herbs. Mr.hotsia noticed that the best shops marinate the chicken long enough for the spices to penetrate the meat before frying it in very hot oil until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Hatyai Fried Chicken has a distinct spicy aroma, crispy but not hard skin, and the inside meat remains juicy, tender, and well-seasoned as if carefully prepared. Mr.hotsia likes to eat it with hot sticky rice and the special dipping sauce prepared by each shop.
