All 16 Chicken Dishes

Tandoori Chicken with Spinach and Mint

Krishna 13

Esquilino·$$

€14.00

Chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, grilled, served with spinach and fresh mint.

Tip: Ask for medium spice as a starting point. The tandoori flavor is more about the marinade than heat.

Satay Ayam

Bali Bar

Trastevere·$$

€11.00

Grilled chicken skewers with peanut sauce, served with pickled vegetables.

Tip: Order this as a starter — it's a safe entry point into Southeast Asian flavors and pairs well with beer or cocktails.

Chicken Madras

Krishna 13

Esquilino·$$

€13.00

Chicken in a fiery curry sauce with tomatoes, ginger, and aromatic spices.

Tip: Request it hot if you enjoy heat. Pair with rice or naan to cool the palate between bites.

Karaage Chicken

Ramen Bar Akira

Esquilino·$$

€6.50

Crispy Japanese fried chicken thighs with lemon and house sauce.

Tip: Order this with your ramen to have something while you wait—the kitchen makes both at the same time.

Chicken Korma

T.O.I. - Taste of India

Esquilino·$$

€11.50

Tender chicken in a mild, creamy sauce with coconut and ground almonds.

Tip: Pair with naan or rice to soak up the sauce. It's creamy but not heavy.

Chicken Shawarma

Su Casa

Jewish Ghetto·$$

€16.00

Spiced roasted chicken breast with tahini sauce, served with pita.

Tip: Build your own with pita and sides. Order extra tahini sauce and vegetables for customizing.

Fettuccine con le Rigaglie di Pollo

Armando al Pantheon

Centro Storico·$$

€12.50

Fresh fettuccine with chicken liver and offal ragù.

Tip: This is an acquired taste but worth trying once. The liver gives the sauce an earthy depth you won't find in meat ragù.

Fettuccine con le Rigaglie

Taverna Trilussa

Trastevere·$$

€12.00

Fresh fettuccine with chicken liver and offal ragù.

Tip: This tastes nothing like tough liver. The long braising makes it silky. The umami is deep. If you're adventurous, try it.

Green Curry with Chicken

Bali Bar

Trastevere·$$

€14.50

Thai green curry with chicken, Thai basil, bamboo shoots, and coconut milk.

Tip: Ask for it 'Thai spicy' if you're comfortable with heat. The default is milder. Tell them your tolerance level and they'll adjust.

#10

Chicken With Peppers and Wild Herbs

La Terrazza at Hotel Eden

Ludovisi·$$$$

€40.00

Roasted poultry with charred sweet peppers and foraged herbs.

Tip: The foraged herbs change seasonally. Ask your server what wild herbs are currently in use—understanding the seasonal angle helps appreciate the dish's freshness.

Esquilino·$$$

€13.00

Tandoori chicken pieces in tomato cream sauce with fenugreek and garam masala.

Hang Zhou

Esquilino·$$$

€18.00

Tandoori Chicken

Tandur

Esquilino·$$$

€15.00

Chicken thighs marinated in yogurt and spices, cooked in tandoor until the skin chars.

Isotta

Torrevecchia·$$$

€16.00

Fresh fettuccine with chicken giblets, a recipe from the chef's grandmother.

Bao Ji

Piazza Vittorio·$

€8.00

Diced fried chicken tossed with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, and fried walnuts.

Testaccio·$

€5.00

Free-range chicken braised with garlic, white wine, and rosemary in a crispy pocket.
