A late Friday, we bring our empty stomachs to Epping’s Beschico, expecting to fill up on fried crispy skin and nothing more. What better way to cap off a big workout at the gym than with copious amounts of deep fried artery clogging goodness.
Beschico
At Beschico, there is only one thing on the menu: fried chicken. Fried chicken this style, fried chicken that style, fried chicken with rice, fried chicken with fried rice… This does fill me with confidence, the chicken must be so good here that there’s no need to offer anything else.
What's fried chicken without some beer to wash it down?
We eventually settle for the Half Classic Half Hot combo. At $29, it is probably not the best value meal around but there are 16 pieces of reasonably sized chicken, which is plenty for the two of us (perhaps even plenty for 3).

Here is a gratuitous picture of delicious fried chicken
The Hot style is covered in a sticky, slightly sweet hot sauce that leaves a nice tingle on the lips. The Classic style is crispy and is great with the mustard or sweet chilli dipping sauces or on their own. The chicken is just as satisfying as a bucket of KFC, but perhaps without the guilt trip.

Beschico
Beschico is a must visit if you love fried chicken. You’ll be surprised by how much the chicken is just like the Colonel’s – but in so many ways, Beschico is a whole lot better. And judging by the number of people ordering takeout from Beschico during our visit, we’re sure it’ll have lines out the door soon enough.
