Having travelled all over the world on my LX 2012 Grenser Boat, one of my favorite passions is tasting the culture and people with its local food. Personally trying out new meals is a must at some open air locale, with nature beckoning. My personal collection of chicken recipes has got me on a lot of TV shows and even on the Guinness book of records.
Every time I visit a restaurant I make a point to visit the kitchen to meet the chef or the head cook. It requires a lot of ideas and strategies to convince and get him to open the deep secrets.
I realized much later that the cat was out of the bag. I always liked chicken breast recipes in the way they do it in some Brazilian cuisines. The chicken breast grilled with barbeque sauce with French wine sprinkled and a touch of Indian pepper based spices, to go with some samba music is exotic in all senses.
I would rate Mexico and Florida in USA a close second. Thailand, Vietnam and China led me to an abundance of chicken wing recipes. They deep fry it in Soya oil after marinating it in a lot of herbs mixed in curds and Indian spices.
Crispy as KFCs is another speciality. Here they grow the dried shrimp and crushed corn flakes with a Crisp effect. Sweet and spicy both varieties can be found. Cold drinks go well with the spicy tandoori delicacies of India.
When this dish is served right off the flame, liberally doused with oil and a fresh squeeze of lime juice, it can thrill you. They are better tried in the North of the India in the hotels side local path (Dhabas). South India puts at your disposal the sweet versions of coconut chicken recipes
Eaten with rice bread called Apams or Idlis or Dosae they can be quite light and at the same time sumptuous. Everyday my mom, prepare the recipes which are in my top ten list I guess a lot of love did the trick. I guess it always does.
So don’t forget, no matter what the ingredients, anything coming with a lot of love is the best.
