Yonghe Angel Chicken Cutlet is a name that everyone in Yonghe remembers! It used to be inside Yonghe Lehua Night Market, with long lines every day, and you really couldn't get it without waiting at least half an hour during mealtimes.
To be honest, I don't know why it suddenly closed back then, but in 2025, it's back!
This Angel Chicken Cutlet, which went from being popular in Kaohsiung to Taipei, has conquered countless chicken cutlet lovers with its "super large, super thick, super juicy" cutlets.
The super thick Angel Chicken Cutlet, fried to a crispy outside with tender meat inside, is back just like the big brother it is!!

When it comes to Yonghe Lehua Night Market, Angel Chicken Cutlet is definitely the top must-eat on the list.
During business hours, there's always a steady stream of customers at the door. Whether sunny or rainy, everyone is willing to wait 10 to 20 minutes for this chicken cutlet.
The large sign at the entrance reads "Angel Chicken Cutlet Angel Chicken," with a clear queuing system. The store thoughtfully separates on-site ordering and pre-order pickup areas so you won't line up or order incorrectly.
If you don't want to wait in line, you can join LINE to pre-order and skip the queue.
After the reopening of Yonghe Lehua Night Market Angel Chicken Cutlet, the new store is located at No. 19, Baoping Road, Yonghe District, New Taipei City, across from the 85°C on the road near Lehua Night Market.
Next door is Dezheng Hand-Shaken Drink, which always has a constant line.
The signature super thick and super juicy Angel Chicken Cutlet has now gone from coin price to bill price.
Flavors include original, pepper salt, and spicy. Besides chicken cutlets, there are also handmade fish balls, chicken popcorn, salted crispy mushrooms, and more available for purchase.
To maintain the texture of the chicken cutlet, Angel Chicken Cutlet insists on not cutting or slicing, and fries to order.
During today's visit, I happened to see a new flavor released: Sichuan pepper chicken popcorn that numbs your mouth.
I wonder if this Sichuan pepper flavor will be as heavily salted as KFC's.
There's a special promotion now: buy 10 chicken cutlets and get one free, perfect for afternoon tea time.
Colleagues can easily chip in to reach 10, but unfortunately, there's no location near my office...
This purchase was around 9 PM, past peak hours, and it only took about 10 minutes to get it!
It's freshly fried, still piping hot in hand, and smells incredibly fragrant.
The most impressive thing about Angel Chicken Cutlet is its chicken thickness and juiciness.
Thick chicken cutlets often have the problem of "crispy skin but dry inside," but Angel Chicken Cutlet has none of that. When you bite in, you can clearly see the chicken fibers—solid texture with a bit of bounce, and the juices slowly seep out as you chew, never dry or astringent.
The chicken is mostly lean meat with a natural sweetness, already seasoned during marination, so even the original flavor has great depth.
Even with the thick cut, the meat stays tender and juicy—a rare quality.
Angel Chicken Cutlet's biggest feature is its almost exaggerated thickness.
Each chicken cutlet's cross-section is nearly as thick as a 50-dollar coin, more than twice as thick as typical market chicken cutlets.
It feels heavy in hand with generous portions, and the bite is nothing like those "thin-slice" cutlets.
This thickness comes from the store's insistence on not pounding or flattening the chicken, preserving the original thickness of whole chicken breast or thigh for the most authentic meat experience in every bite.
Angel Chicken Cutlet's "thickness" is not a gimmick but real meatiness and juiciness, which is why it has stood strong in the chicken cutlet world and repeatedly won netizen polls for champion!
Although one piece has moved beyond coin price, the meat quality and thickness make it not feel expensive. Now that it's reopened, fans who loved Angel Chicken Cutlet before shouldn't miss it.
