Why go, and how to do it well
Cherng Doi Roast Chicken is a northern Thai grilled chicken restaurant on Suk Kasame Road off Nimmanhaemin, and two of the Chiang Mai food lists I compared rank it near the top. The brand has other branches, but this Nimman one is the address the lists point to.
I'd order the signature chicken, which reviewers describe as crispy-skinned, with the fried papaya salad and sticky rice. The grilled pork and corn salad get mentions too. Not everyone is sold, and a few reviewers found the chicken served lukewarm or the flavor ordinary.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
