How to approach it
Work outward from technique rather than from menus. Fix the cooking method first: fully submerged in hot oil, with a coating that sets into a hard crust. Then sweep the world's kitchens in a fixed order, one continent at a time, and for each ask how a whole bird, a quarter, a wing or a thigh is seasoned before it meets the oil. Write down every compound name that surfaces, favour those carrying a place, a spice blend or a buttermilk-style marinade, and keep going until you have twenty candidates. Breadth beats polish: the reveal rewards the specific over the generic, so spend the remaining minutes on variants rather than on second-guessing.
Get a hint
Start with the street food and takeaway counters of the world rather than with restaurant menus: the bird is cut small, marinated, coated and cooked to order almost everywhere.
A little more
Think about the coating and the vessel before the flavour: a wet batter, a dry dredge of seasoned flour, a crumb shell or a double fry all count, and so does the pot, wok or pressure fryer it comes out of.
One step further
The reveal is packed with compound names, so build yours by attaching a modifier to the bird, whether a region, a spice, a marinade base, a cut or a serving style, and expect short generic phrases to sit in the lowest band.

Why these answers count
Scoring here was almost binary: 685 of the 714 recorded answers cleared 60 points, and the distribution is dominated by the 85-point tier, which swallowed 575 entries. What separated the single 100-point answer, Hulu chicken, from the crowd was not familiarity but precision, a narrowly regional name that few players would ever reach. The 85-point band, running from Ayam goreng through 7Up fried chicken to Alcapurrias de pollo, is where well-known but still particular dishes landed: recognisable enough to be verified, distinct enough to be worth more than a generic phrase. The 109 answers at 60 points were the safe, broad picks, the plainest way of saying the dish, and the remaining 29 fell below the threshold, usually because they described a cooking method or a sauce rather than a named preparation. Rarity, not obscurity for its own sake, is what pays.
