Crispy Chicken Vientiane

Crispy Chicken Vientiane, a must-try delicious dish in the capital city of Laos

When talking about Vientiane, the capital of Laos, many may think of the peaceful simplicity of the Mekong River at dusk or the ancient temples that tell the history. But for mr.hotsia, tasting the local dish “Crispy Chicken Vientiane” is another experience not to be missed.

While strolling around Vientiane, I heard rumors about a famous fried chicken shop popular among youth and locals, which isKu Vientiane Fried Chicken Feet ShopOr simply called Ku Vientiane Fried Chicken Feet Shop. This shop is located not far from the heart of Vientiane city. The phone numbers I noted are 021 314 514 and 020 2220 5733 in case anyone wants to call ahead before visiting.

“Juen” in Lao means fried. This shop specializes in frying chicken feet to be crispy and tender, with a unique texture very different from regular fried chicken. The first time I tried it, I ate until I forgot I was already full from the previous meal. The crispiness and balanced flavor, without the greasiness found in some fried chicken places, made me very impressed. It felt like discovering the “ultimate crispy chicken” comparable to KFC’s fried chicken.

I remember walking around Vientiane after visiting Wat Sisaket and other charming temples in the city.Wat Sisaket, VientianeIt was one of the spots I stopped by before recharging with crispy chicken at Ku Vientiane. The daytime heat in Vientiane made this meal even more refreshing.

Getting here is convenient because Vientiane is a walkable city, or you can rent a bicycle to explore the city in a fun way.Traveling in VientianeDon’t forget to stop and recharge with this crispy chicken.

Atmosphere and lifestyle around Ku Vientiane

Ku Vientiane is located in a lively area of Vientiane Province. The surroundings are a gathering place for youth and workers after work or in the evening. I saw groups of young people chatting happily with plates of crispy chicken around the table, laughter and the aroma of fried chicken making mouths water.

This is the charm of Vientiane that I really like — the simplicity and friendliness of the people, along with the delicious local food that retains its authentic, unpretentious taste. Trying the crispy fried chicken here made me feel like part of the Lao community, not just a tourist visiting.

After enjoying the crispy chicken to the fullest, I continued walking along the newly renovated Mekong Riverbank.Mekong Riverbank, VientianeAt sunset, the orange-red sun slowly disappearing below the horizon is a view I love.

I recommend ordering a set with fresh vegetables in the traditional Lao style to fully experience the authentic flavors they carefully prepare.

For those unfamiliar with Lao food or worried that the chicken might be tough or hard, don’t worry. The crispy chicken here is fried to be crispy outside and tender inside like nowhere else I’ve tried. The first bite bursts with crispiness, followed by tender, juicy chicken meat inside, and the balanced flavor is delicious even without dipping sauces.
