Cooking

When I visited Zimbabwe I had so much chicken, I did not care for it for a while. Almost anyone you visit rears chickens and in our culture visitors get chicken. It is like the special meat, you expect it for Christmas or any other holiday. You specifically expect rice and chicken with coleslaw salad.

I love to roast chicken in the oven because it is simple and I can use the meat in a number of dishes. You can eat it as is or in a salad. The are many ways of roasting chicken but I prefer mine to have crispy skin. I only use salt and pepper to season which allows me to use the chicken in other dishes.

I defrost the chicken in the fridge overnight and use paper towels to pat dry the chicken.
