All 16 Chicken Dishes

Chicken Durum Wrap

Durumbar Night Express

Nørrebro·$

DKK60.00

Warm durum wrap filled with seasoned chicken, salad, vegetables and sauce.

Tip: The chicken wrap is lighter than lamb and still satisfying — good choice if you've had drinks and want something less heavy but substantial.

Yakitori Chicken Skewers — Various Cuts

Aotori & Akaton

Østerbro·$$

DKK650.00

Chargrilled chicken in different preparations — thighs, breast, skin — each grilled and salted or glazed to order.

Tip: Let the chef recommend the order of skewers — the progression from lighter to richer cuts is intentional. Don't ask to reorder.

Char-Grilled Chicken

Circolo

Frederiksberg·$$

DKK220.00

Whole or half chicken, grilled and finished with herbs and olive oil.

Tip: The chicken is the most affordable grilled protein and scales well for groups — order one for 2-3 people.

Rice Noodle Salad with Grilled Chicken

District Tonkin

Indre By·$

DKK138.00

Warm rice noodles with grilled chicken, herbs, peanuts, and a lime-fish sauce dressing.

Tip: A good lunch option — warm, filling, and lighter than pho. Available during lunch hours.

Chicken Nanban Karaage

Kūkai Ramen

Amager·$

DKK80.00

Four pieces of crispy fried chicken coated in a tangy, vinegared sauce with a Japanese curry element.

Tip: The nanban karaage is heavier than the gyoza. If you're ordering multiple sides, choose between karaage and gyoza, not both.

Miso Ramen

Ramen to Biiru

Nørrebro·$$

DKK128.00

Miso-based broth with ramen noodles, chicken chashu, soft-boiled egg, corn, and menma.

Tip: A good middle ground between rich (tonkotsu) and light (shoyu). Try this if you're not sure what soup to order.

Mixed Meat Durum Wrap

Durumbar Night Express

Nørrebro·$

DKK70.00

Durum wrap with a combination of lamb and chicken, salad, vegetables and sauce.

Tip: Can't choose between lamb and chicken? Get the mixed — it gives you both and creates a more complex flavor profile.

Karaage (Fried Chicken)

Ramen to Biiru

Nørrebro·$$

DKK95.00

Japanese fried chicken thighs marinated in soy and sake, served with lemon and chili mayo.

Tip: Share an order of karaage among a group while you wait for your ramen — it comes faster than the soups.

Yakitori Skewers

Kappo Andō

Nordhavn·$$$

DKK1800.00

Grilled chicken skewers with four different seasonal preparations.

Tip: Sit at the counter to watch the yakitori being grilled — the skill and timing involved in charring the meat while keeping it tender is visible and impressive.

Aotori Yakitori Set

Aotori & Akaton

Østerbro·$$

DKK650.00

Eight chicken and vegetable skewers grilled individually over binchotan charcoal, served with rice, soup, and pickled vegetables.

Tip: Aotori cannot accommodate vegetarians, vegans, or those with gluten allergies, as soy sauce and miso are fundamental to the cooking. Inform the team of any other allergies at booking.

Smoked Chicken with Root Vegetables and Smoked Cream

Alouette

Indre By·$$$$

DKK850.00

Wood-fired smoked chicken served with caramelized root vegetables and a smoked cream sauce.

Tip: Wednesday-Thursday evenings are quieter than Friday-Saturday. If you want to ask chef Curtin or the team detailed questions about sourcing and technique, these nights allow more time for conversation.

#1290% recommend

Double-Fried Korean Fried Chicken

SSAM Korean Food Bar

Vesterbro·$$

DKK145.00

Crispy twice-fried chicken with sweet gochujang glaze and sesame seeds.

Tip: Order the Double-Fried Chicken as your main — it's the most memorable dish and the reason most people come to SSAM.

#1390% recommend

Chicken Shawarma

Shawarma Grill House

Indre By·$

DKK72.00

Marinated chicken thigh, slower-cooked than beef, with more delicate spicing.

Tip: Don't assume chicken shawarma is lighter than beef—the thigh meat is rich and satisfying.

#1488% recommend

Chicken Shawarma Bowl

Gaza Grill

Nørrebro·$

DKK95.00

Organic chicken shawarma with tahini, roasted vegetables, hummus, and salad.

Tip: This is filling — 85 kr for a huge bowl. Pair with a bottle of house lemonade (fresh mint) and you're set for 120 kr.

#1585% recommend

Pad Krapow with Chicken

Holy Krapow

Refshaleøen·$

DKK95.00

Ground chicken prepared identically to the pork version — slightly leaner, with the same holy basil and chili treatment.

Tip: Chicken cooks faster than pork and can dry out — ask for yours slightly rare if the queue is short.

#1685% recommend

Stuffed Chicken with Celeriac and Truffle

Vækst

Indre By·$$

DKK275.00

Chicken breast stuffed with celeriac and black truffle, served with seasonal greens.

Tip: This is often featured on the set menu — if it's available, take it. The truffle-celeriac combination is Vækst's signature.
