Yet again I am late in this fad food game but like most say, better late than never. This Salted Egg Chicken Burger took flight mid-year of 2016 when McDonalds Singapore joined the salted egg bandwagon and offered if for a limited time, it took it took the world by storm, or rather Singapore by storm when this first launched, selling it out on the first few days and lots of people got disappointed after queuing for several hours just to grab hold of one. Now one good thing with being late, we are trying to revive this amazing dish and offer a way to make it at the comfort of your own home.

So, what is this Salted Egg Chicken Burger? Basically, it’s what exactly what the name suggest, a chicken burger made with crispy chicken thigh meat patty coated with this savoury breading then deep fried to a nice crispy golden state served on a sauce made with mashed salted duck egg sauce and milk. I am not sure who created this first but McDonalds made it popular in South East Asia and different fast-food chains followed suit. It came in to light when this sudden popularity of salted duck egg yolk on everything like fish skin and potato chips to name some. The salty-sweet grainy concoction instantly grabbed the hearts of South East Asians and since then salted duck egg yolks can be found in almost everything like stir fries, ice creams and even in pastries.
