A major restaurant group in Hong Kong has ignited a dining frenzy with the surprise release of a $1 crispy chicken promotion, available at 15 designated branches during evening hours. The offer, rolled out by the Pak Ho Food Group, allows customers to enjoy a whole酱皇 crispy free-range chicken for just one dollar—and savvy diners can even stretch the deal to score two birds for the same price.
The promotion runs across the group’s portfolio of连锁酒楼 brands, including Choi Wui Palace, Pak Ho Famous Feast, and Dou Wui Fishing Harbour. Participating outlets span the territory, from Sheung Shui and Tsuen Wan to Tseung Kwan O and Chai Wan. The offer applies to dinner service only, with a minimum of two diners per table required to qualify.
The $1 Trick: How to Get Two Crispy Chickens
Beyond the headline-grabbing $1 chicken, which is available as a four-choice dinner special, diners can maximise value by ordering one chicken per diner at the same table. Since the promotion is calculated per person, a table of two can effectively enjoy two whole crispy chickens for just $2—a detail that has sent cost-conscious foodies racing to book tables.
The signature dish is described as crispy-skinned and juicy, with a rich, savoury glaze that has made it a perennial crowd-pleaser at these establishments.
A Feast Beyond the Bird
The value doesn’t stop at poultry. The same dinner promotion offers three additional premium options, starting from as low as $38:
- Steamed live grouper – a classic Cantonese staple, priced at just $38
- Boston lobster with e-fu noodles in superior broth
- Braised abalone with vermicelli in clay pot
Each table may select only one of the four promotional dishes per seating, based on the number of diners. To activate the deal, customers must also order at least one regular-priced dish from the main menu.

A Competitive Dining Landscape
This aggressive promotion comes amid intensifying competition in Hong Kong’s casual dining sector. Chain restaurants have been rolling out increasingly bold discounts to attract budget-conscious families and elderly diners. Earlier this month, rival chain Café de Coral offered $32 for half a catty of char siu, while other groups have launched $13.8乳鸽special and $48 winter melon soup deals.
For families seeking an affordable night out, the Pak Ho Food Group’s $1 chicken offer—especially the two-chicken loophole—represents one of the most striking value propositions in recent memory. But with limited time and branch availability, early reservations are strongly advised.
