Chicken marinated overnight in lemongrass, garlic, shallots, and Vietnamese fish sauce, then grilled over high heat until smoky and juicy. Our Lemongrass Grilled Chicken (Gà Nướng Sả) is a fragrant Saigon Chef specialty in southeast Calgary.
Lemongrass Grilled Chicken, or Gà Nướng Sả, is one of Vietnam's most beloved grilled dishes — aromatic, deeply savoury, and full of fresh herb character. At Saigon Chef Restaurant in Calgary, we marinate our chicken for hours in a traditional blend of lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, and sugar.
Grilled fresh to order over high heat, each piece develops a lightly caramelized, smoky exterior while staying juicy inside. We serve it with steamed jasmine rice, pickled vegetables, and a side of nuoc cham — a complete, satisfying Vietnamese meal.
