Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks

The Best Fried Chicken in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"This Taiwanese import brings a different perspective to the local fried chicken game, specifically with its XXL chicken. The pounded breast (there are leg and thigh options, too) is battered and fried to a juicy crisp, then coated with a peppery spice mix. Eat it whole out of a paper sleeve like you’re a proper Taipei night market denizen or, if you’re a daintier eater, have it snipped into smaller pieces for sharing. The chain’s Berkeley location has yet to reopen, but Inner East Bay residents can order takeout online from the Pleasanton shop." - Luke Tsai
