Har cheong gai

(虾酱鸡)

The name of this Singaporean dish translates as shrimp paste chicken. It consists of chicken wings (or drumsticks) that are dipped in a classic combination of eggs, flour, and starch, and a marinade consisting of shrimp paste, rice wine, sesame oil, and other seasonings.


This unique combination of ingredients results in a golden and crispy chicken that is packed with flavor. Har cheong gai is commonly found at numerous hawkers centers throughout Singapore, and it is usually served with a dipping sauce on the side.
