Phan Thong Fried Chicken uses 80 kilograms of fresh chicken daily and offers a delicious secret dipping sauce. This shop is so popular that a slight delay means missing out, as it sells out by noon.
Opposite Krung Thai Bank, Prachinburi branch, there is a small fried chicken shop that patiently fries chicken for nearly an hour to ensure the best quality. This is Phan Thong Fried Chicken, also known as Phan Thong Fried Chicken by Grandma Wan. It is not a place where you can order and eat immediately, but its legendary flavor has been passed down from father to son for over three decades.
The secret to its long-standing popularity in Prachinburi for more than 30 years begins with honesty in ingredients. The shop uses over 80 kilograms of fresh chicken daily, seasoned with a unique recipe. What impresses customers most is the frying oil, which is clear and changed daily without reuse. The chicken is carefully fried over medium heat for 40 minutes so the heat gradually penetrates, turning the skin a crispy golden yellow while keeping the meat inside tender, juicy, and thoroughly cooked.
Another distinctive feature that no one can imitate is the roasted chili dipping sauce, Grandma Wan’s secret recipe. Its rich roasted chili flavor perfectly complements the hot fried chicken, enhancing its taste with depth and richness. Many say this dipping sauce elevates the chicken’s flavor to rival well-known fried chicken brands.
Because of this meticulous care for each piece, Phan Thong Fried Chicken sells out every day within just a few hours. Those wanting to taste this delicious chicken priced from 60 to 120 baht are advised to hurry or call ahead to reserve, as often by noon the 80 kilograms of chicken have been completely sold out, leaving only empty trays.
Phan Thong Fried Chicken is located opposite Krung Thai Bank, Prachinburi branch, in Prachinburi Municipality. It is open daily, but it is recommended to come before noon and to call ahead at 085-819-3477 to place orders in advance.
