This is a simple and fast meal, perfect for a dinner for two! My kids wanted tacos for dinner, my mom was over and she is not a big fan of tacos so we made something that was just enough for her and who ever wanted to try some. The seasoning in this is simple and the flavours I grew up with, you can add any spice or seasoning you like….

One of our families favourite meal is roast chicken with potatoes! My mom always roasted them together in the same pan, gave so much flavour to the potatoes, I added the garlic which makes it even better!…

I call this chicken semi- fried as I don’t fry it the whole way through. I love the taste of fried chicken….but fried greasy food does not sit well in my tummy. The way I prepare it, the oil is not being soaked up by the chicken, I use just enough oil to lightly brown the skin.
I simply brown the skin so it gets crispy and fried like texture while its baking.
So here goes to make my semi- fried chicken!…

One of my favourite dishes my grandma used to make, but we didn’t call it chicken cacciatore we called gjelle me pule, gjelle meaning ‘pot food’ and pule for chicken. This dish is very delicious, and goes great with pasta or rice. …
This rice dish is a little spicy, goes great with butter chicken!…

Butter chicken is one of my sons favourite dishes, served with fluffy basmati rice on the side and you have an amazing dinner! Over the years I have experimented with the recipe until I found the best way of making it, some hit and misses along the way. I have made it with packaged flavours but they didn’t hit the spot with me.

This is an Egyptian recipe my Grandmothers friend always made, she taught me how to make it many years ago as I loved it when she made it for us….

I usually make this when I really don’t know what else to make for dinner, or when I make pasta salad, it is simple and easy. I don’t add any sauce after it is grilled, I find it to have enough flavour from the marinade and grill.
You will need:
In a mixing bowl, add the chicken and splash some vinegar, olive oil and garlic over the chicken, season the chicken with the seasonings above, I just eye it, I would say 1/2 teaspoon maybe of the seasonings if I had to guess. If you like it spicy you can add some hot sauce or sriracha to the marinade.
If you really want to know what the seasoning will taste like, combine it all in a bowl with the vinegar, oil and garlic, taste and adjust as you like and then pour over the chicken.
Marinate for at least an hour, prepare your barbecue grill, and when it’s ready place the chicken on the grate, on lower to medium heat cook the chicken for about 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them around every 5 minutes or so, that way they don’t burn. Depends on your BBQ, cook until done and juices are clear, may take longer or less time, depends on how hot or quick your grill cooks, I don’t mind dry chicken as long as it’s fully cooked I’m good. That’s it super simple and delicious!
You can serve with your favourite BBQ sauce or enjoy as is.
