Best Fried Chicken in Kota Kinabalu

#kotakinabalutrip Borenos Fried Chicken, a proudly Sabahan fast-food chain, offers a unique local twist on fried chicken in Kota Kinabalu. Its signature peppery-spiced chicken is praised for being crispy, well-marinated, and not overly greasy. We ordered their set meal which came with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, fries and drinks. The food was served piping hot. Fried chicken was one of the best that I’ve had, crispy flavourful coating with tender meat on the inside. Definitely a must try while in Kota Kinabalu! With a halal-certified menu and a variety of offerings, Borenos has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike, earning accolades such as the GrabFood 5-Star Award for Crowd’s Favourite Western Food in 2024.
