FYI: Read the original article here.Jolibee's fried chicken has also received praise from other international outlets, including US-based Eater.com, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, and Yahoo! Singapore.
In 2022, Foodie website Eater.com judged the fried chicken from Jolibee better than the US-based popular Kentucky Fried Chicken, Popeye's, Chick Fil-A and 10 other fastfood outlets includnig McDonald's fried chicken sandwich.
Eater.com Special Projects Editor Lesley Suter credited Chickenjoy's "subtly seasoned skin" and how the chicken itself was "satisfyingly light, flavorful in a ‘tastes like chicken’ sort of way, and supremely moist.”
Other notable bestsellers from the outlet also continue to win raves include the mouthwatering Chicken Sandwich, sweet style Jolly Spaghetti, and the crisply light, flaky, fruity Peach Mango Pie. Other dishes that might introduce adventurous diners to the taste palette of Filipino cuisine include, aodbo rice, ube pie, and palabok fiesta ( the latter is basically a take on the noodle dish, pancit.)
