Ayam Rica Rica

{{totalReview}}
Ayam rica-rica is specialty chicken dish from the city of Manado in Indonesia North Sulawesi. Rica means chili in North Sulawesi language, so ayam rica-rica translates to chicken with chili sauce. If you love bold, spicy, fresh, and citrusy dishes, you will definitely love ayam rica-rica. Maybe just add one or two bird eye chilies if this is the first time making this dish, especially if you have kiddies eating this too. Also, don’t forget the steamed white rice, and copious amounts of cold refreshing drink to counter the heat from all those chilies!
