When it comes to food, what’s considered strange in one country might be a delicacy in another. For travelers exploring the rich culinary landscapes of Thailand, one of the more unexpected delights might just be something you’ve never dared to try before:
Crispy Fried Chicken Feet and Deep-Fried Chicken Organs.
Yes, you read that right. In Thailand, we make use of every part of the chicken — from the wings to the feet, from the liver to the gizzards. And far from being seen as “weird,” these parts are beloved by locals across all regions of the country.
🍗 What’s the Deal with Chicken Feet?
In Western countries, chicken feet are often seen as scraps or waste. But in Thailand — just like in China, Vietnam, and the Philippines — chicken feet (called “teen gai”) are a true delicacy.
They’re not just deep-fried to a crispy golden perfection. They’re also used in:
• Spicy Thai-style salads (Yum Teen Gai)
• Herbal soups like Super Teen Gai (a tangy, spicy broth that warms your soul)
• Or slowly braised in rich soy sauces for a melt-in-the-mouth experience
There’s a texture and a collagen-rich bite that locals love. Once you try it with a cold drink or sticky rice, you might just fall in love too.
🫀 What About the Organs?
Chicken liver, hearts, kidneys, intestines — all these are grilled or deep-fried into delicious, savory street food snacks.
Why waste what can be seasoned, cooked, and enjoyed?
For us Thais, this is a matter of respect and practicality. We’ve grown up in a culture that teaches “Mai sia khong” — never waste anything. We turn what might be discarded into bold, flavorful dishes that bring families together, from temple festivals to night markets.
🌍 Culture Shock? Let’s Talk About It.
To many international visitors, this might seem… well, off-putting.
Some say “ew,” some say “never,” but others say:
“I never thought I’d like this, but wow… it’s GOOD.”
It’s important to remember: Food is culture. And cultures differ. What’s strange to you might be comfort food for someone else.
If you’re from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or Europe, you might find these dishes unusual at first. But if you approach them with an open heart and a curious mind, you’ll experience something authentic and unforgettable.
❤️ Respecting Every Bite
In Thai tradition, using the whole animal is about gratitude and sustainability. Every part has a place, every flavor has a home.
So the next time you’re walking through the vibrant food stalls of Ao Nang, Krabi — and you see golden-fried chicken feet piled high next to sticky rice and fiery chili sauce — don’t turn away. Try it. Ask about it. Savor it.
You’re not just eating something unique.
You’re stepping into a culture that values resourcefulness, flavor, and shared joy.

Don’t just eat. Experience. Connect. Understand.
And let your tastebuds take you places your passport never could.
💬 Just Between Us… A Little Chicken Foot Love Story
On a more personal note, I have to confess something.
There’s a very special British gentleman in my life — and every time I order fried chicken feet or chicken feet soup, I can’t help but snap a photo and send it to him just to tease him. I’ll write something like:
“Mmmm… so crispy, so juicy! My absolute favorite!”
🐔💛
And without fail, he’ll reply with the most dramatic “🤢” emoji you can imagine.
He always says,
“No matter how good you say it tastes, I just can’t picture myself chewing on feet. Nope. Never.”
😂😂😂
I totally understand, of course! It’s a cultural thing. We all grew up with different foods and traditions. I never force him to eat chicken feet, and he never tells me not to enjoy them.
But deep down, I know he’s missing out on something delicious.
So sorry, darling — the Thai people are winning this round.
So here I am — enjoying my street food in Krabi, waving my chicken foot proudly, grinning ear to ear, and shouting to the kind vendor:
🗣 “P’ ka! Fried chicken feet, 20 baht please!”
(Which usually gets me 4–5 crispy golden pieces, by the way.)
Not bad for a global culinary experience, right? 😋💕
