How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is supaishī chikin.
Did you know?
- The heat in many Japanese chicken dishes comes from 七味唐辛子 ('shichimi tōgarashi'), which blends chili with unexpected ingredients like orange peel and hemp seed.
- If you see チキン ('chikin') on a menu, it refers to meat, but if a person is called a チキン, it is a loanword from English meaning they are a coward.
- While スパイシーチキン is understood, Japanese speakers often use 辛い ('karai') to describe heat. In Japan, スパイシー ('supaishī') often suggests a complex blend of herbs and aromatics rather than just chili heat.
