Best Chicken Chops in KL

Charlie's Cafe version of the chicken chop may just bring you back in time. The batter used for the chicken chop feels a lot like KFC back when it was delicious. Crusty, crispy and packed with 11 secret herbs and spices. The chicken is done really juicy, tenderly and moist. Served with a savoury mushroom sauce, refreshing coleslaw and a side of fries.

The Gravy Factory is claimed to have acquired and perfected gravy recipes passed down by Hainanese master chefs during the British Malaya Days. Using that recipe, the signature Hainanese Chicken Chop is second to none. Tender chicken thigh coated in a light batter and fried till crispy perfection. Served with a sweet and sour Hainanese sauce which not only compliments the taste and crispiness of the chicken, but elevates the flavour and texture as well with all the cubed carrots and shopped onions. Each plate comes with a side of salad and potato wedges. 

Looking for another place to indulge in sinful delights in the middle of the night? Well then, why not pay Pekan Station a visit? Though it's not exactly a restaurant, this humble stall do whip out some pretty delicious chunks of meat. Think of every guilty and fattening dish, and have some of them merge together - like the spaghetti with lamb chop or steak. Similarly, everything that you'll find here is either rich or savoury and at most times, it's both. The signature chicken chop is done with incredibly crusty while still retaining a good amount of moisture within. The additional black pepper sauce gives it that added kick and the salad, bun, and fries on the side are pretty good too.

If you are in the mood for something meaty and well, 'western', then Restoran Westerns Cafe (such a generic name) might just be the place for you. They have everything, from lamb chops to steaks, and chicken chops to a wide range of sides, everything here is made to the extreme. By that we meant the amount of sauce, portion size and even the price! One serving could easily feed 2 pax, while the sauce is sufficient for twice the amount of meat provided. It is slightly saltier than most, but still great tasting in many ways. Last but not least, it's pretty affordable too!

Alanna's Kitchen is definitely a place you'll have to visit. It's small but cozy, with the ability to fit a considerable amount of customers within. They emphasize on a few things - freshness of ingredients, method of cooking and of course, service. These principles are reflected on their dish, which of course includes the grilled chicken chop. Beautifully cooked till tender and juicy perfection, seasoned lightly; just enough to bring out the natural flavours of the chicken, and served with either black pepper or brown sauce. Not forgetting a decent portion of fries and salad as well! Well-flavoured, perfectly cooked chicken and a service you will return for!

If you are looking for a fancy place to dine, then you might want to give this place a pass. Swee Hainanese Western Grill is located in a coffee shop, which relates back to the lack of cleanliness and service. However, you'll be glad to know that most dishes are done quite nicely, and guaranteed to get rid of your cravings. The portion of the chicken is huge and the crust is fairly crispy - though after leaving it on for some time it tends to get soggy really quick. Served with a side of mash and corn, Swee Hainanese Western Grill is another place you can consider. 

Arch Cafe is a pretty good looking cafe, with a blend from the old and new. Located in downtown KL, Arch Cafe offers all the classics you'll find. There are 2 variants to the chicken chop - either grilled or Hainanese. If you are more inclined towards a punch of flavours, go for the grilled as it is topped with black pepper sauce. The Hainanese variant on the other hand, is a lot milder and light in comparison. Though not to worry, it still packs in quite a decent amount of flavour. Both comes with a side of fries and salad, as well as 1 toast. 

Ladies and gentlemen, students and those in debts! You can now enjoy a gorgeous piece of chicken chop at only RM4.90! Yes, for RM4.90, you'll get a whole chicken thigh fried to crispy perfection with breadcrumbs, a side of fries, coleslaw and a generous amount of black pepper sauce! How awesome is that? That's even cheaper than eating economy-rice, and here we are talking about a whole piece of chicken. Believe it or not, the chicken is still quite tender, though not as juicy, the sauce actually makes up for it. But hey, it's RM4.90, don't complain!

Fiske Steakhouse is fairly popular for their range of lamb dishes. Almost everyone who comes through the door will certainly order 1 dish that is lamb-related. Not that it is bad, but rather quite surprising. Anyway, despite being really popular with their lamb dishes, the chicken chop too deserves a bit of recognition. It's a simple concoction of chicken thigh fried to crispy perfection with breadcrumbs, a generous amount of brown or black pepper sauce, criss-cut fries and of course, a side of salad to make it less sinful. All and all, it's a simple dish, but done quite nicely.

An absolutely beautiful space - tall windows, abundance of natural light, hipster furnitures and friendly baristas, what more can you ask for? Apart from their pretty awesome coffee, the chicken chop too deserves a bit of spotlight. It's well fried and crusted but still retain a really juicy interior. The portion is huge and the sauce given is incredibly generous. A side of sweet potato fries as well as salad to complete the meal. Only thing that is lacking is perhaps a drink, and that we would suggest the iced latte to help cool things off a little. 

Prefer a little western today? Well, Warisan too managed to whip a succulent and juicy Chicken Chop. Flooded with sweet and sour sauce, this crispy poultry dish will tantalize your taste buds with robust and fulsome flavours. Also thrown in the mix are potatoes, peas, and sweet onions to create rainbows in your mouth. 

The aroma fills the air as you see your server walking towards you with your order. The chicken plus the smell of spices, your stomach starts to growl hungrily. That’s what you get if you order the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Chop at VietThai Restaurant. A restaurant that is full with the best of Vietnam and Thailand tastes, this is no ordinary Chicken Chop. The chicken is cooked ‘till moist and tender and in every bite you can taste the unique flavour of lemongrass. To give you a better idea, it looks and smell like chicken satay, only better.

Minimal, clean and undeniably hipster-ish, Exhibit Cafe is a great place for friends to chill and hangout as it is quite quiet and calming. Internet here is great too, but don't go and start torrenting as that might result in an injury. Moving on, much like their decor, the food here is quite simple. With the chicken chop being one of the best sellers, it's grilled to tender and juicy perfection with merely salt and pepper. There's also a side of brown sauce if you wish to add a little more savoury-ness to it. Accompanied by a serving of leafy greens, tomato salsa, and 2 small loafs of butter rolls. 

Murni Discovery is what most would consider as an encyclopedia of comfort and sinful food. Anyone who goes to Murni in the middle of the night is either starving or craving - sometimes even both. They offer monstrous dishes such as chicken chop with spaghetti, lamb chop with rice or even their signature claypot 'lou shi fun'. The size of their menu is huge, as well as their portion. The best part about them, it's incredibly affordable! For the chicken chop, there are several variants, but the most popular is still the ridiculous one with spaghetti. Lots of flavour (black pepper) and the ultimate guilt for a midnight snack!

There is much to be enjoyed here at Top Steak House. Anything meat or gravy related, they'll be the first at it. Located in Sungei Besi, Top Steak House is a pretty cozy place with comfortable seatings and decent service. The food though, may look a little obscene as they tend to mix new things together. Thankfully, the chicken chop is fairly basic with a crispy batter on the outside, juicy and moist flesh on the inside. Topped with brown sauce, and served with criss-cut fries and salad on the side. The dish itself isn't exactly new nor fancy, but it does end your cravings.

Leaf & Bean Cafe may not look like much from the outside, but their menu is absolutely beautiful. Everything is hand drawn and painted, which gives them a rather unique identity. There are only so few cafes or restaurant that actually does this. As for their food, it is not the most creative thing, but thankfully they are all cooked quite nicely. Though one thing for sure, the grilled mexican chicken chop is quite a catch. It's well marinated with a slightly spicy sauce and grilled to juicy perfection. Not only that, the deboned chicken thigh is an absolute delight! Served with mash and salad on the side.
