ไก่
The general word for chicken, used for both the live animal and the meat. Essential for ordering food at restaurants, shopping at markets, or discussing meals. Thai speakers use this in countless food contexts - from street food stalls to fancy restaurants. Always specify cooking style when ordering, as plain ไก่ might confuse vendors.
