Texas has 2 things in common with Singapore: the blistering heat and the love of food. Talk to any Texan about barbeque and you’re basically pointing guns ready to start a war.
Texas is a weird place. It’s the place where chicken fried steak doesn’t contain chicken and they call all carbonated drinks coke.
Thankfully, for Singaporeans, we don’t need to know the weirder side of Texas.
All that matters to us is fried chicken, and our Texas Chicken here shows that it’s ready to start a war over food.
Texas Chicken says NO to calling salted egg ‘gold’
Texas Chicken posted a teaser for this just yesterday (10 July 2019):

Keeping things real crunchy with Singapore’s favourite. Can you guess what it is? 🤩 #11July!
Hmmm, it looks golden, yellowish with specks of green leaves. I WONDER WHAT IT CAN BE HUH? Must be a lemon flavoured chicken or something.
But for real, nobody was surprised when it was revealed that it is Salted Egg chicken today. Except it also came with throwing some shade with the reveal by saying NO several times.
NO to what? Hyped up trends, watered down sauce and calling salted egg gold.
Their claim is that it took 3 years to perfect the dish so that it will be authentic with a strong salted egg aroma.
How real is real? The usual powdered salted yolks used commercially are not made from traditionally salted duck eggs.
Instead, they use chicken eggs which are less perishable and cheaper.
What Texas Chicken did is use the fresh salted duck egg yolks that Teochew porridge uses, with garlic and chilli powder to make a golden gravy, which is used to brush the chicken.
Then salted egg yolk crumbs, breadcrumbs, curry leaves, basil leaves and chilli flakes will be sprinkled on.
I don’t know if all that will be true, but I do like the war that Texas Chicken seems to be starting with all the implications there.
