炸鸡, or "fried chicken," is a popular dish made by deep-frying chicken pieces that have been coated in a seasoned batter or breading. This cooking method results in a crispy exterior while keeping the meat juicy and tender inside. It is enjoyed in many cultures around the world, often served with various sides like fries or coleslaw. In China, 炸鸡 has gained immense popularity, especially among younger generations. It is commonly found in fast-food restaurants and street food stalls. Variations may include different spices or marinades, reflecting local tastes and preferences. Fried chicken is often paired with dipping sauces for added flavor.
