The stall was started by two native Koreans living in Singapore, so you'll be promised a truly authentic experience! All of their ingredients are imported directly from Korea; from their in-house batter to seasonings and sauces! ?Moreover, all of their chicken pieces are fried to golden PERFECTION upon order, so you'll be digging into freshly made juicy fried chicken ?The best part? All of their chicken is fried using a 100% Vegetable Oil blend, which makes your chicken a tad healthier!
If the name WAKER Chicken SG sounded familiar to you, you're not the only one! They used to have an outlet at Tampines (their only halal one in fact!), but it has since closed down! Fret not though, because now THREE of their outlets are halal-certified! ?
They offer four flavours of fried chicken: sticky, sweet-spicy sauce, original crispy, soy sauce and their ever-popular honey butter fried chicken! Here's what you should try based on popular demand!

Of course, we have to start the list with their Honey Butter Fried Chicken. At first glance, it looked like the chicken was drenched with fine snowflakes, but these golden delights are actually mixed well with honey buttermilk powder. It's the perfect sweet-savoury flavour - which is what makes Korean fried chicken delicious and addictive! One bite in and you might be fighting for the last piece! ?

Each crispy chicken is generously glazed in a sticky, sweet, tangy and spicy sauce that's finger-lickin' good! It truly hits the spot ?Be prepared to get a little messy (don't worry, gloves are provided!); it's a price we're willing to pay when we dig in into mouthwatering fried chicken!
