A time-honored recipe hailing from Khao Yai, Thailand, the Penlaos signature grilled chicken releases a burst of juiciness upon the first bite from its interior succulent meat. Grilled till a nice char on the exterior, the chicken coupled harmoniously with the blend of spices such as white and black peppercorn, garlic, fresh coriander, fish sauce. Smoky, sweet, savoury all in abundance. Pair with the Thai sweet, thick dipping sauce which brings along a lingering spiciness.

Only perplexed by the fact that our whole grilled chicken were served in halves whereas others’ were served whole.
