8 Best Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore (2026) — Halal Picks, 4Fingers, Chir Chir, BHC & More

The one that got Singapore hooked. 4Fingers (est. 2009) is home-grown, MUIS HALAL-certified and still the easiest to reach — around 15 operating mall outlets islandwide (Plaza Singapura, Northpoint City and Marina Square have closed). WHAT TO ORDER: the double-fried wings and drumettes glazed in Soy Garlic (savoury-sweet) or Hot (spicy), plus the Chicc Crisp burger and boneless rice boxes. PRICE: around $11.50 for 6pc bone-in wings; sets and rice boxes in the low-to-mid teens. STUDENT DEAL (verified): $2 off, Mon–Fri 11am–6pm, at participating outlets — but only on three combos, the 6pc Wingettes & Drumettes, the Boneless Chicken Bites Rice Box and the Chicc Crisp Burger, each of which comes with fries and a drink. Order at the counter with a student pass; excludes public holidays and their eves. SAFRA/NSmen DEAL (verified on safra.sg): 10% off with min. $20 spend, Mon–Fri, valid to 30 Dec 2026 — dine-in and takeaway only, not on delivery apps, and not at the Changi Airport outlets. WORTH WATCHING: 4Fingers has repeatedly run a one-day S$4 flash deal on 4pc Wingettes & Drumettes on the 4th of the month (4 May, 4 Jun and 4 Jul 2026) — not guaranteed to repeat, but worth checking their socials around the 4th. BEST FOR: a reliable, halal, mall-convenient KFC fix — and the gateway drug for most Singaporeans.

The authentic Korean franchise that turns dinner into an event. Chir Chir's flagship sits in the basement of 313@Somerset (313 Orchard Road #B3-04/05/06), with a second outlet at Bugis Junction (200 Victoria Street #02-50) — note it is Bugis Junction, not Bugis+, and the chain is now down to these two after its Chinatown Point, Bedok Point and JEM outlets closed. Fresh-fried-to-order chicken, buzzy K-pop energy and portions built for a table. WHAT TO ORDER: the towering sharing platters — signature crispy fried chicken, Snow chicken (cheese-powder), and the spicy Jjimppong noodle-and-chicken combos. PRICE: reckon on roughly $15–35 per person; $40–70 for two to four with sides and drinks. NOTE: not halal-certified, and outlets serve alcohol. BEST FOR: birthdays, group feasting and anyone chasing the real, made-in-Korea KFC experience. Expect a wait at peak — go early or off-peak.

A long-running local Korean-style favourite (since 2010) on Tanjong Pagar Road's unofficial Korean food street. IMPORTANT UPDATE: Chicken Up has contracted hard — the chain is now down to its single original outlet at 48 Tanjong Pagar Road #01-01 (S088469), after the Jurong East, The Centrepoint, Buangkok, Parkway Parade and Tampines outlets all closed permanently. Its old chicken-up.com domain is now a parked lander, so there is no live official website; check a listing site or call 6327 1203 before you go. WHAT TO ORDER: the boneless 'Chicken Up', Spicy Up and yangnyeom (sweet-spicy) chicken — each batch marinated 12 hours before frying — best shared, plus army stew, tteokbokki and kimchi or truffle fries. PRICE: about $10–30 per person; more once sides and soju pile up. NOTE: not halal-certified; alcohol served. HOURS: listings disagree — some show daily 11.30am–10.30pm, older ones show a 5.30pm–2am supper service — so confirm before a late run rather than assuming it is open past midnight. BEST FOR: hungry groups and post-work feasts in the CBD.

One of South Korea's biggest chicken chains, and the closest thing to eating BHC in Seoul. GO HERE: Marina Square, 6 Raffles Boulevard #02-332A/332F (S039594), open daily 11am–10pm with last orders at 9pm — this is now the only BHC outlet in Singapore. DON'T MAKE A WASTED TRIP TO ORCHARD: BHC's second outlet at 160 Orchard Road did open (Dec 2023), but it closed permanently on 31 December 2025 when the whole Taste Orchard mall shut down after master tenant HAO Mart's lease was terminated. BHC's own website is genuinely misleading on this: its locations page still badges the Orchard unit 'Opening Soon' while its homepage still lists it with full opening hours — neither has been updated, and third-party listings copied from them are wrong too. Marina Square is the address to trust. WHAT TO ORDER: the cult Bburinkle — chicken dusted in an addictive savoury cheese-onion powder — and the Golden Olive fried chicken, cooked in olive oil for a clean, crisp finish. PRICE: sharing portions roughly $18–28; sets and combos vary. NOTE: not halal-certified; first-come, first-served with no reservations. BEST FOR: Korean-chicken purists who want the authentic BHC flavours (that Bburinkle powder has a serious fan club). Check bhc.com.sg for the current menu and outlet status.

The Korean franchise that makes authentic-style KFC accessible AND halal — NeNe is halal-certified, a rare combination of Korean branding and certification. WHERE (this matters): NeNe is no longer everywhere. Four outlets are operating — The Star Vista (#01-24), NEX Serangoon (#04-15/16), Bedok Mall (#02-02) and Bukit Panjang Plaza (#02-10) — after *SCAPE, Hougang Mall, Junction Nine, Eastpoint Mall and OneKM all closed. Check which one is nearest before you plan around it. WHAT TO ORDER: work through the flavours — Freshied (original), Bulgogi, Swicy (sweet-spicy), Hot Yangnyeom and the Instagram-famous Snowing Cheese, which arrives buried in cheese powder. PRICE: from around $8 for 2pc, with combos and sharing boxes scaling up. BEST FOR: halal diners who want proper Korean-franchise flavour variety without the hunt for certification, and anyone who can't decide on one glaze (get the mix).

The home-grown, halal-certified brand (launched in Bugis Village in 2016) that made Korean fried chicken a mall staple — and the pick of this list for actual, currently-running deals. WHERE: JINJJA Chicken at Northpoint City, Bugis+, Westgate and Sengkang Grand Mall, plus sister format JINJJA Kitchen at Our Tampines Hub, Bukit Panjang Plaza and Jurong Point. WHAT TO ORDER: yangnyeom (sweet-spicy) and soy-garlic wings, snow-cheese chicken, and the K-rice bowls and army stew (budae jjigae) if you want a full meal. PRICE: wallet-friendly — mains roughly $7.30–$11.90; sharing 'Big Bang' sets from $40.90 for 3–4 pax up to $80.90 for 8–10. RUNNING DEAL (verified): spend $12 or more and you get $2 off any Fried Chicken Main on your next visit — an ongoing loyalty mechanic launched in June 2026, so it should still be there when you go. NEW FOR SG61 (from 5 Aug 2026): the 'Go Beyond Borders' collaboration menu with heritage nasi padang institution Rumah Makan Minang, at participating JINJJA Chicken and JINJJA Kitchen outlets — K-Boneless Chicken with Belado ($9.90), Belado K-Boneless Chicken with Coconut Rice ($10.90) and Rendang Bulgogi Beef Loaded Fries ($6.90). It is a limited run with no announced end date, so treat it as a go-soon. ENDED: the $5 off Signature Wings sets (12pc $11.90, 18pc $16.90) expired on 31 July 2026 and has not been renewed. BEST FOR: a quick, cheap, halal Korean-chicken fix, and comfortably the best value-per-wing on this list.

The connoisseur's pick for anyone who finds most fried chicken too heavy. OFC uses a rice-flour batter that fries up incredibly crisp while keeping the meat juicy — noticeably less greasy than the usual. WHERE: all three outlets confirmed trading — 182 Telok Ayer Street (S068630, 6222 5959), 16 Chun Tin Road near Beauty World (S599603, 6463 3505) and 230 Tanjong Katong Road (S437018, 6247 9242). WHAT TO ORDER: the soy-garlic and original fried chicken, plus half-and-half combos so you can compare glazes. PRICE: sharing portions roughly $15–25. NOTE: not halal-certified. HOURS: Chun Tin and Tanjong Katong both split into a lunch service (11.30am–2.30pm) and a dinner service that runs to midnight or 1am, so they are a genuine late option — but they shut in the mid-afternoon, which catches people out. BEST FOR: fried-chicken lovers who want the crunch without the oil-slick aftermath, and anyone who rates texture above spectacle.

The out-of-the-way underdog that quietly outscores every big name on this list. Tucked in NorthPoint Bizhub at 2 Yishun Industrial Street 1 #01-11 — an industrial building, not the Northpoint City mall, so put the right address in your maps app. VERIFIED RATING: 4.9 stars across roughly 881 Google reviews, making it Singapore's highest-rated Korean fried chicken. Note this is now their only outlet; the Toa Payoh branch has closed. WHAT TO ORDER: the Korean fried chicken (crisp, well-seasoned, generous) and their chicken burgers — a combo you won't find at the franchises; the kitchen also does Korean rice dishes, pasta and soups. PRICE: honest value, roughly $10–18. HOURS: daily 11am–10pm. NOTE: check current halal status directly if it matters to you. BEST FOR: north-siders and anyone who'll travel for a genuinely top-rated bird over a famous logo. Proof that the best KFC in Singapore isn't always in a mall.
