OKINAWA HAEBARU: Rico Chicken! A bit away from touristy Naha and rotisserie garlic chicken loved by locals! (Sony RX100)

When in Okinawa you MUST seek out a rotisserie garlic chicken spot!  Half a chicken runs 800 yen and a whole 1600 yen.  This day my local Okinawan friend says he only goes to Rico Chicken monthly. My first try!


The chef was swamped with walk-in and phone orders.  




What a friendly chicken bag.

Now time to eat in my friends driveway... Hydroflask and Orion beer ready!


In the distance... 

Rainbow spotting!  But in about 15 minutes the huge Typhoon 14 started drenching this town.


Visually it looked much like any other Bueno Chicken style rotisserie but what I noticed most that it really lacked the huge volume of garlic topping that I totally enjoyed at Bueno Okinawa GO Chicken.

Some parts were tender, other juicy... but with so little garlic it kinda lacked that kick.  I`m definitely  still a fan of BUENO Okinawa GO (Garlic Onion) Chicken in Naha that's run by a super nice youth Karate instructor. 
 
Leave you with an Okinawa sunset view from Yaese town.
