A Tradition of Healthy Snacking

Founder Lan Luong grew up in Vietnam just after the war, when food was simple and sometimes scarce. She didn’t have pantries full of sugary snacks or candy bars, but she and her family enjoyed what they had: fresh fruit and homemade dried meats like Khô Gà.

What felt like limited choices at the time turned out to be a huge blessing: she grew up with healthy snack habits!

A Mother’s Search for Better Snacks

Years later, as a mom raising active, sports-loving kids in the U.S., Lan found herself searching for healthy, affordable snacks. Everything seemed overly processed or packed with sugar.

Inspired by the simple foods she grew up with, Lan created a clean, satisfying, protein-rich snack she could feel good about giving to her own children.

And soon, no matter how big a batch of Khô Gà she made, it was gone before the week’s end.

Chicka Chew founder, Lan Luong, at the Hudson Kitchen Bootcamp.

“My family has been serving Khô Gà for generations. And when I saw my son and his friends devour it at sports practice, I knew more people needed to be in on it.”

— Lan, Founder & CEO

What started as a way to nourish her own children became Chicka Chew. More than just a snack, Chicka Chew is a simple, wholesome way to add real protein to everyday life. Whether tossed into a lunchbox, packed for practice, or added to a quick meal, it’s made to fuel life on the go.
