## Six stations, kitchen to table

1. ### The bird  
about 600 g  
A free-range chicken is split along the backbone, so each order is half a bird.
2. ### The rub  
2 hours' marinade  
Salt, chilli and minced lemongrass are worked in under the skin and into the cavity, then left to take.
3. ### Wood and coals  
40 minutes to build the coals  
The chicken goes on only when the wood has burned down to red coals, so the heat is even and the smoke is not black.
4. ### The grill  
35 minutes  
Skin side down first, then turned several times so the skin tightens while the thigh stays just cooked.
5. ### Carving  
8 pieces  
The cooked chicken is cut into bite-size pieces on the board before it goes out.
6. ### Lime leaf  
5 lime leaves  
Shredded lime leaf goes on top, with a small bowl of chilli salt if you want it stronger.

## What is in it

Half a free-range chicken rubbed with salt, chilli and lemongrass, grilled over wood and eaten with lime leaf. It sits in [The grill](/en/menu/grill). There is no fish sauce in it, and by our nine-group allergen table the dish has no allergen listed. “Free-range” here is gà ta, a country chicken raised longer than a factory bird, with firmer meat.

## How to eat it

The chicken arrives already cut up. Pull off a piece, dip it in a little chilli salt, and eat it with lime leaf and plain rice. Half a bird is enough for two to four people with rice, greens and soup in one mâm (a set of dishes laid for the whole table). The mâm for two, VND 440,000, includes it with bánh khọt, morning glory and two bowls of rice: see the [set menus](/en/set-menus).

## Who it suits, who should skip it

Medium heat, level 2 on a 0 to 3 scale. The chilli can come on the side or be lowered; tell us when you order, especially with children. Because there is no fish sauce, it suits guests who avoid fish and seafood. If someone eats mild food, ask for it milder. It is not vegetarian.

Allergens: none among the nine groups the kitchen tracks. The kitchen is shared, so we cannot promise there are no traces (the chicken is grilled at the same fire counter as fish and prawn), and we track only nine groups. With a severe allergy, ask your doctor first, then call us so we can tell you what is in the dish. See other spicy dishes with the [spice filter](/en/menu/spicy).

## Price and booking

VND 268,000 per half chicken, 8% VAT included. [Reserve a table](/en/reserve) and tell us the heat level for the table: no deposit under 8 guests, and we hold the table for 15 minutes.

## Where to eat it

Sit at the fire counter to watch it come off the fire, 75 minutes for 1 to 4.
