SP Chicken is a long-running restaurant in Chiang Mai loved by locals and flocked by tourists. It was listed in the 2020 Thailand Michelin Guide as a Bib Gourmand. But is it really the best grilled chicken in Chiang Mai? Keep reading for my opinion.
The visit
SP Chicken is located in Chiang Mai’s Old City. It is a classic diner but quite comfortable, even with some seating in mini-booths. I sad on a stool as I was alone.
I had their celebrated grilled chicken that came with two sauces, one tamarind-based and one chili-based. Yes, the chicken was delicious, even if I was hoping in a bigger specimen. My portion was half chicken.
Then I had a spicy chicken soup that was also good.
They also have beef dishes, various salads and drinks.
Their dip sauces are handmade as you can see from their work station near the entrance.
The check
For half chicken, the soup, and a drik I spent 180 THB (5.50 USD). Great value for tasty and homemade food.
Now, do not get me wrong, I liked it, but in Chiang Mai the grilled chicken joint in Nimman Soi 11 in my opinion delivers a better product.
Where in Chiang Mai:
9/1 Sam Larn Soi 1, Phra Singh, Muang Chiang Mai.
