We went all out on Thai food and drinks at Chicken and Co. and had quite the feast! 🍛🍹

Yet another Thai Chicken and Rice gem that serves delicious and affordable plates in North Cambridge.

Thai Chicken Rice may not be a sophisticated dish requiring intricate techniques, but it’s a comforting classic that rarely disappoints. No matter where you order it, you're almost guaranteed a delicious meal, and Chicken & Co was no exception. In GBA, there are three spots specializing in this dish, and while the offerings are nearly identical, Chicken & Co has a slightly bigger menu. Beyond the standard, they serve up crave-worthy extras like crispy chicken skin and Crispy Pork Belly Rice.

From the small plates, I couldn’t resist trying the Zaab Wings (naturally), Duck Wings, and the Crispy Chicken Skin. Unsurprisingly, the Zaab Wings was my favorite—juicy to the bone with a bold, tangy seasoning that made them irresistible. The Duck Wings, however, didn’t quite take flight. A bit tougher and drier than expected.

One thing I loved about the main menu at Chicken & Co. was the customizable "Chicken Duo" rice plate, where you can mix and match two out of four meat options. So, instead of the usual poached chicken and crispy chicken combo, you can switch things up with, say, crispy pork belly and crispy chicken. The crispy pork belly I tried on my first visit was excellent, so on my second visit, I went with the classic crispy chicken and poached chicken duo. While the poached chicken was spot-on, the crispy chicken didn’t quite measure up to their stellar wings. Next time, I'll definitely stick with the winning combo: pork belly and...

Chicken & Co is a Thai restaurant specializing in Chicken rice, offering different combos for their chicken rice as well as other traditional Thai dishes, desserts, or drinks.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, but decorated quite well and with many seating. The staff are friendly and make the food quite quick, and are able to offer suggestions on the food as well.

We got the crispy pork belly on rice, crispy chicken on rice, thai iced tea, and the mango sticky rice. The mango sticky rice was good, with a large rice portion. The mango itself felt a bit different than what we were used to, but still tasted good. The thai iced tea came separated in two layers, so we had to mix it to combine both. It tasted good, a little bit like powdered thai tea, but still great and with good flavor. One downside is that the lid it came with had no hole, so it wouldn't be good to drink in a car.

The crispy pork belly and chicken came with sizeable amounts of meat and quite a lot of rice. The Chicken had a great flavorful sauce, while the pork belly had a spicy tamarind sauce that didn't taste as good at the beginning, but was quite tasty after using...
