Hen Chicken Rice

Hen Chicken Rice in Union Square builds its menu around Thai chicken and rice, with several ways to order it. The Original is poached boneless chicken with ginger rice and a soybean-based sauce. The Crispy uses fried chicken thigh and sweet chili sauce, while The Mix puts both preparations on one plate.

For more heat, there’s crispy chicken tossed with chili-lime powder; The Isan pairs fried chicken with sticky rice and tamarind sauce. You can also order chicken with rice noodles instead. Pickup and delivery are available from the Somerville shop at 24 Union Square. Finish with mango sticky rice or Thai tea ice cream made in collaboration with Gracie’s if you want dessert.
