Spicy Chicken

Sri Lankan Devilled Chicken is a dish full of bold flavours, colour and excitement. Tender pieces of chicken are first marinated then fried until golden and finally tossed with onions, peppers and spices in a sweet, spicy and tangy sauce. The mix of chilli, soy sauce and tomato ketchup gives it that signature taste hot, slightly smoky with a touch of sweetness that makes every bite irresistible.
