There will also be small plates including  crispy chicken skin, chicken cakes, chicken livers, chicken satay and chicken feet. 

Sides, meanwhile, will include crispy fries, sticky rice, corn on the cob, halloumi, and tornado potatoes.

ZAAP Thai currently operates Thai street food restaurants in Sheffield, Nottingham, York, Newcastle and Leeds. 

“We’re thrilled to introduce Gai ZAAP to the vibrant culinary scene of Nottingham, it’s a concept we’ve been developing for a long time and we’re so excited to bring it to life” says Gai ZAAP managing director Gerrard Marks. “We’re taking the chicken shop and injecting a unique Asian twist. We’re creating a dining experience that celebrates the versatility and deliciousness of chicken in every bite.”
