Chilli Chicken

This is one of my favorite appetizer dish when it comes to Indo-Chinese dishes.Coming to the best place i had a nice chilli chicken was way back in chicago when we used to stay there.

Chicago has a nice china town...where there are nice chinese restaurants...n one of them is LaoSzechuan http://www.laoszechuan.com its small but very crowded place during weekends.They have this item no#563- Chef's Special Dry Chilli Chicken** which is very good...its basically chilli chicken with lots of dry red chillis.

So for anyone who stay in chicago n would like to vist chinatown do try that out.
