The thing about 辣子鸡 is that it looks extremely spicy. However, it's really not as spicy as it looks. Still, this particular version is still very spicy...
辣子鸡 is probably the first dish that really got me hooked on Sichuanese cuisine. It just so happens that @ttyr's mom's new apartment is within walking distance to the place that invented the dish, 林中乐. How about that, huh?
The experience of eating 辣子鸡 is one of hunting for increasingly tiny pieces of chicken among a mountain of chilies and Sichuan peppercorn. The chicken has bones too, so it's not a dish for lazy people.
