Lemongrass chicken, chicken curry, shredded chicken salad, and boiled chicken were 36th, 39th, 57th, and 60th.

Lemongrass chicken, a much beloved dish in the Mekong Delta, is made by marinating the meat in a mixture of lemongrass, chili, shallot, garlic, sugar, salt, oil, turmeric powder, and fish sauce.

Boiled chicken is deboned, chopped into pieces, sprinkled with lime leaf, and served with a side of chicken ovaries.

The chicken is then stir-fried and simmered until tender, and usually served with hot rice or noodles.

Vietnamese chicken curry is an adaptation of the Indian variety, and the meat is cooked with potato, carrot, onion, garlic, coconut milk, chicken broth, and flavoring like lemongrass, fish sauce, bay leaf, and curry powder.

It is served with white rice or bread.

Shredded chicken salad is a blend of sweet, savory, crunchy and tangy ingredients like boiled chicken, carrot, onion, cilantro, mint, and, occasionally, cabbage.

The ingredients are mixed in a bowl and dressed with a mixture of lime juice, fish sauce, chili, garlic, and sugar. It is garnished with roasted peanuts and crispy fried shallot before serving.

Boiled chicken, a traditional Chinese dish, has gained popularity in northern Vietnam, especially during the Lunar New Year, symbolizing abundance and prosperity.

It involves cooking a whole chicken with ginger, salt, scallion, and turmeric powder, giving it a golden appearance. After boiling, the chicken is cooled in ice water to halt the cooking process and prevent darkening.

The dish is often accompanied by a salt and lime dip and served with sticky rice.

The top five chicken dishes in Asia are Indian butter chicken and tikka (barbecued in a clay oven), Indonesian ayam goreng (fried chicken seasoned with spices), and Korean fried chicken and dak galbi (stir-fried chicken with a spicy-sweet sauce and vegetables).
