Hainanese Chicken Chop
海南鸡扒

Hainanese Chicken Chop is a beloved fusion dish that originated in Malaysia and Singapore, created by Hainanese immigrants who skillfully adapted Western cooking techniques to local ingredients and tastes.

The dish typically features a boneless, marinated chicken thigh or breast that is coated in a light batter or breadcrumbs before being deep-fried to a crispy golden brown. The chicken is then smothered in a savory-sweet sauce made with a rich blend of tomato, Worcestershire sauce, and onions, often with the addition of peas and carrots, lending it a tangy, umami-packed flavor with a touch of sweetness.

Traditionally, Hainanese Chicken Chop is served with a side of crispy fries or potato wedges, and often paired with coleslaw for a refreshing crunch. While it can sometimes be served with rice or bread, the Western-style sides perfectly complement the savory, Asian-inspired flavors of the dish. This delightful fusion of Western and Asian culinary influences makes Hainanese chicken chop a much-loved comfort food throughout Southeast Asia.
