Hello there my forest friends!
It is time to feast your eyes upon the third instalment of my Two Wings review!
I'm here to with you guys the digs and down under of the few famous friend chicken stalls in Singapore as well as reviewing it against my newest tantalising delight, Two Wings, which I have only tried recently! Now it's time for another chow down with one of the fancier fast foods of the town!
Let the third battle begin!
Say hello to the next contender, Nene chicken!
(don't be a hornball okay, nene means "yes" "yes" in Korean)
Known in Korea as the "sauce-coated" chicken specialist, this unique fried chicken is marinated with a bunch of distinctive scrumptious flavours to tango with your taste buds. Founded in 1999, this Korean chain has over 1000 stores (and more), counting in South Korea alone.
Once again, the Korean Fried Chicken has truly captured the tummies of us Singaporeans, because there are truly so many different Korea fried chicken stalls to head to in this little red dot! Just like 4 fingers, Nene chicken is another fast food joint that people love to head to for them delicious wings.
However, a distinctive difference between these two fighting fast food joints is the fact that Nene Chicken definitely does have an edge with their many flavoured choices of chicken, compared to 4 fingers which has only two (garlic/spicy).
With amazing sauce choices from Swicy (sweet and spicy), freaking HOT, honey mustard, cheese, bulgogi and crunchy dry, I feel like their set meals are a little costy for $7.50 for two pieces of chicken, yes I am aware it comes with sides, starters and drinks: it's still a little on the pricey side.
What's great about Nene chicken?
+ The brilliant choices of sauces that each have that distinct unique taste!
+ Family friendly with their Nene Pop and other kid friendly delights, they even provide choices for group meal for people who come in with their friends!
+ Hello there delivery service! Yes, they do delivery service to limited areas but still! (I have never tried their delivery so I don't know how crunchy the chicken is when it reaches your doorstep; gotta do a rain check on that one.)
+ Their chicken is on the above average side (better than 4 fingers) but consistency is definitely there! I like the fact that they offer you gloves so your fingers won't get sticky from all the saucy goodness.
What's not so great about Nene chicken?
- For a fast food chain, they are pretty slow; but I suppose if you want good fried wings, you'll have to make the wait.
- Pricey. Honestly, I feel for such small portions (and chicken), it's a little bit on the expensive side. Considering that it's also deemed as fast food, this is a lil overpriced.
- The chicken is fresh and moist but batter wise, I think they can do much better than what I tried.
- The outlets that I've been to: PLEASE EXPAND YOUR SPACE! Just like 4 fingers, Nene chicken has really squeeze-y stalls and if you want to have a good dining experience, I'd suggest you takeaway your chicken and eat it at home.
Overall, I would rate Nene Chickens' as pretty decent wings but on the pricer side - but just like 4 fingers, I feel like you will get tired of the taste after a while - except that with Nene Chicken you still have a few sauces to "max" out your tiresome taste limit.
Next up, our friendly face, Two Wings!
A very significant difference between Two Wings and Nene Chicken is the fact that Nene chicken has a wider variety of sauces/chickens and Two Wings has none - however don't let that fool you, Two Wings has it's own strengths and it's finger licking batter is something you will never get bored of.
With the evenly cooked and crispy batter, these wings truly don't disappoint! Also the fact that they come in a wooden chopping board make it sooooo instagram worthy, you people have to fight to take the best shot before someone's hand makes a grab for the chicken wings.
Sure, Nene Chicken has it's spicy sauces, but have you tried Two Wing's homemade chilli sauce? With enough power to accentuate the flavour of the delicious wings, the seemingly chicken rice chilli is truly something you will not want to miss out.

What's great about Two Wings?(as compared to Nene chicken)
+ The wide variety of menu choices will not disappoint either! Do you know they have popcorn chicken in a HUGE BUCKET NOW? (flies off)
+ Group gathering? Two Wings is the place for you as well! Beers and chicken all round!
+ Once again, the size difference is actually humongous. If you pit these chickens side by side, without batting an eyelid, you'll know that Two Wing's is the bigger, better winner. Also, without a doubt, these wings here are CRUNCHIER, less greasier as well.
+ Takeaway? Yep! Remaining crispy after the takeaway? YEAP. Unlike Nene chicken, Two Wing's chickens remain moist and succulent but crunchy on the outside even after a few hours! HOW?!
What's not so great about Two Wings?(as compared to Nene chicken)
- The sauces are not on par with Nene Chicken, true as the latter has it's only one and secret delicious batter; Nene chicken wins here with it's pretty unique distinctive flavours to pick from.
- The wait for the queue is apparently longer than Nene Chicken's - as heard from my friends, they have mentioned how you don't really need to queue up much for Nene chicken.
- Equally expensive, but if you want to know, Two Wings has an advantage on this one.
Honestly speaking, these two are actually both equally good but I feel it depends on the person's taste buds if we are planning to compare Korean fried chicken and normal fried chicken!
Nene Chicken has a good selection of unique tastes but their chicken isn't the best whilst Two Wings has satisfyingly incredible chicken but doesn't have a selection of different flavours - overall, it's a see-saw battle to the end.
Everyone has their Achilles heel after all! Always good and the bad; hence the balance of everything is always there!

- Two Wings chickens MUCH CRISPIER AND LARGER than Nene chicken's.
- Nene Chicken has a larger variety of sauces/batter to pick from
- Two Wings's is considerably worth your cash than compared with Nene Chicken.
- Nene Chicken has more outlets.
Three down and last but now least - well you'll have to wait for it!
