Best Chicken Wings in Kota Kinabalu

Deep fried to a crispy golden perfection, Borenos Fried Chicken are many's preferred choice in Kota Kinabalu. These chicken pieces are not only pleasurable in flavours but also in texture. Tear open that crispy tangy skin to reveal tender and succulent chicken meat. KKites, it is time to bid goodbye to KFC and McDonald's.

Albeit a popular appetizer, chicken wings soon propelled themselves into becoming mains. Once you've tasted a good chicken wing, it's not difficult to understand why some would gob down tenths of chicken wings in one serving. This is especially showcased in Kedai Kopi Lotus whereby the BBQ chicken wings are evidently the main star dish of the entire restaurant. Squeeze on some kaffir lime for some contrasting acidity in flavors.

Nothing beats a great meal rather than finger lickin' good chicken wings paired with a scenic view. That's what you get at Tanjung Aru Beach. Look out for that chicken wing stall which has long queues (if you're lucky, there might be less crowd) because those people clearly line up for a reason: Good Food. The beach itself is a gorgeous view already but when accompanied by mother nature's glorious sunset, the scenery is next level. 

Can't leave your rice behind? In Malaysian culture, it's not unusual to want to eat everything with rice. At Nasi Katok, that's what you get. Pair your delicious fried chicken (wings) with rice and sauce. Brought in from Brunei, this dish is a must-try especially for non-locals as you definitely can't find nasi katok in the West.

Nasi Embak serves a very simple dish yet it keeps the restaurant going strong after all these years. Fried chicken and rice may seem like an odd combo to some but that is probably because you have not tried Nasi Embak at Kedai Runcit Salmin. The location of this eatery is slightly away from the bustling city but yet, crowds pour in. Most customers are frequent ones who return time after time as there is no other better nasi embak in the area.

Just looking at these glorious Korean Fried Chicken is painful to my tastebuds. BBQ Korean Chicken makes some of the best KFC in Kota Kinabalu, hands down. We especially love the chicken wings because let's face it - wings are the bomb. Nonetheless, the real win factor of this restaurant is simply in its amazing sauces and marinade that really elevate regular chicken to the highest level of satisfaction.
