This hawker-style chicken chop is an elite yet underrated hawker food! It’s the kind of satisfying plate that brings back memories of after-school meals and hanging out with friends. 

This version is easy to make at home using simple ingredients – juicy chicken thigh drenched in brown savoury mushroom sauce and served with the classic fixings: crispy fries, buttered bread, baked beans and creamy colesaw.
