HUNGRY GERALD

Yes, the chicken is a noble bird. Indispensable and versatile in cooking. Low calorie when poached or boiled. Nutritious and excellent source of protein.  BSK is a talented chicken cook and displays her skills in stews (Shwarma is a fave), sheet pan bakes., traditional roasts, sautes and broils in a cast iron pan (lots of garlic, cumin, olive oil and onions for flavor–and Harissa for heat ). HG is a fan of all things “picante”. Last night , BSK made a Moroccan tagine of chicken, chickpeas, garlic, onions and vegetables. Very delicious. Tonight, BSK is roasting Bell & Evans spatchcocked chicken . HG doesn’t know BSK’s secret but this is one of HG’s favorite dishes–juicy, herbaceous and with crisped skin. It will be accompanied by just picked sweet corn.  HG is looking forward to it. Oddly, BSK never makes Southern fried chicken. BSK thinks it is fattening and greasy.
