Just off Highway 99, halfway between Fresno and Bakersfield, lies the small community of Goshen. It\u2019s mostly known for its ethanol plant, but among the warehouses and agricultural supply stores that line its commercial streets, there\u2019s a jewel of a joint whose popularity goes well beyond even state lines: a food truck that serves Lao fried chicken and rice.<\/p>\n

The truck sits in the parking lot of a large store that sells plastic dinosaurs, stuffed animals and novelty items for vending machines. Lady Chicken & Rice is hand painted in candied red letters on its front. Lady Chicken is named for the woman who created the deep-fried Lao chicken recipe that\u2019s so popular here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call her Lady. She\u2019s my Lady,\u201d said Bounthong Sang, who runs the business. He was talking about his wife, Bounleuk. Bounthong didn’t give her the nickname, though \u2014 fame did. Well, fame among the locals here in Goshen who love her chicken.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t know her name. They call, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s Lady Chicken,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The food truck serves as many as 500 customers a day. It\u2019s open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and lines form as soon as the first batch of chicken is out of the fryer.<\/p>\n

Bounthong said he\u2019s met travelers from as far away as Virginia and Texas who find rave reviews on Yelp or other food apps. But there are also plenty of regulars, like Tony Solis, a UPS driver who comes here at least once a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat food, good price, friendly people, awesome,\u201d Tony said.<\/p>\n
