Combo2: Chicken Rice-Security Staff

Vietnamese Crispy Fried Chicken Rice, known locally as Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ, is a celebrated street food and comfort meal that offers a compelling combination of flavors and textures. It is an elevated version of the simple rice dish, centered around the star component: the chicken.

The centerpiece is usually a chicken leg or thigh, meticulously marinated in a blend of traditional Vietnamese seasonings—often including garlic, onion, and sometimes five-spice powder—before being deep-fried to absolute perfection. The result is a piece of chicken with shatteringly crisp, golden skin that locks in the incredibly juicy and tender meat underneath.

This savory protein is served atop a generous portion of fragrant, often lightly colored rice (sometimes cooked with chicken stock for extra depth of flavor). The dish is beautifully balanced by its accompanying condiments: crisp slices of cucumber and tomato, and a side of đồ chua (pickled carrots and daikon) to cut through the richness.

However, the true magic lies in the dipping sauce (Nước Chấm). Whether it's the classic sweet, sour, salty, and spicy fish sauce mixture or a rich, dark soy-based glaze, this sauce ties all the elements together, making Cơm Gà Mỡ a satisfying and unforgettable culinary experience.
