With the match seemingly heading to a draw, Vokes hooked home from close range off a headed knockdown from Michael Keane to secure Burnley's fifth successive home win.
Burnley have taken all but one of their 29 points at Turf Moor this season while Leicester have yet to win away from home in the current campaign and are slipping perilously close to the drop zone.
Leicester are 16th, level on points with Swansea below them and just two clear of the relegation places. They now have the worst record after 23 games by reigning top-flight champions.
