The chickens, raised naturally on the hills, have firm, flavorful meat. After being cleaned, they are marinated with mắc khén, which imparts a rich, aromatic, slightly spicy flavor. Grilled over charcoal, the chicken turns golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender on the inside.
