Oh for the love of fried chicken! An amazing creation that comes in various forms and unique styles all around the world. There’s your standard fast food fried chicken, Taiwanese types, Korean ones and more- but have you ever tried Horlicks Sesame fried chicken? That is what separates this particular queue-worthy hawker stall in Medan Selera from the rest and here’s why you need to try it.
Gerai Ah Kow Sells Horlicks Sesame Chicken For Almost 40 Years

In 1971, Uncle Ah Kow from Perak first began operating a small noodle business from his bicycle by going around town. 12 years later, he decided to set up a stall in Medan Selera selling sesame fried chicken, which is now well-known and loved by locals and tourists to this date.

The stall, Gerai Ah Kow, is currently run by his son who uses the original fried chicken recipe from 1983. The clever addition of Horlicks adds to the crispy texture of the fried chicken while the sesame seeds add a nutty crunch!

To make their famous Horlicks Sesame Fried Chicken, they first mix the chicken in a batter of horlicks and sesame seeds.

Then, it’s fried in a wok for 30 minutes until golden brown!

The fried chicken pieces are chopped up and served with sliced cucumbers and light soy sauce. They’re meant to be eaten with rice (chicken rice-style), along with the unmissable garlic and chilli sides.
