Words ending in '-ically' are pronounced /ɪkli/. Chronically genuinely rhymes with ironically, sardonically, and monotonically (stressed /ɒ/ + /nɪkli/). Cynically, logically, and periodically are useful lookalikes: they share the '-ically' spelling and suffix sound, but their stressed vowel or following consonant differs, so they do not rhyme.
