Rico Rico Chicken is a simple food truck known for its delicious huli huli chicken with a Peruvian twist. The chicken is charred to smoky perfection but remains tender and juicy, with flavors of umami, pepper, and herbs. The skin is flavorful and perfectly spiced, and the yellow sauce that comes with it (possibly aji amarillo) has a gentle bitterness that balances the fattiness of the skin. The exterior of the chicken is not burnt, showing the care taken in cooking, and the meat itself is really soft and juicy. The plate includes a good portion of fragrant long-grain white rice. Customers often call ahead to reserve, as chicken sells out quickly. The mustard sauce offers a creamy and buttery complement with a slight kick, but not spicy. Portions are reasonable, and the restaurant suggests paying with cash. Located near Moiliili Neighborhood Park, the food truck provides quick and easy service, making it a favorite for flavorful, juicy, and tender chicken lovers. Chef's care and quality make it the best chicken on the island, highly recommended for those seeking authentic flavors.
