Kai yang (Thai: ไก่ย่าง, lit. meaning "grilled chicken") or ping gai (Lao: ປິງໄກ່ ) is a dish originating from the Lao people of Laos and Isan (Northeastern Thailand), but it is now commonly eaten throughout the whole of Thailand. The dish is a standard staple of street markets and readily available at all times. Being a typical Laotian/Isan dish, it is often paired with som tam/tam mak hoong and sticky rice (Thai/Isan: ข้าวเหนียว; ; Lao: ເຂົ້າໜຽວ). It is also eaten with raw vegetables, and often dipped in spicy sauces such as Laotian jaew bong.
In Thailand there are also many famous Thai Muslim varieties of kai yang which are not of Lao origin at all but more akin to the grilled chicken from Malaysia.
