ROAST CHICKEN served with BATATA HARRA
Oven roast chicken is like the perfect lazy meal. all u do is spread some stuff on the chicken chuck in the oven sit and watch your soap, 40 mins to one hour later its all cooked and ready to go.
As for the potatoes well unless you want to throw them in the oven too and have a complete lazy meal but if not these potatoes are pretty awesome. I originally got the idea of this dish from another Kenyan blog called Jikoni Konfidential. I tried it and really liked it so I did some research and found that the dish is called Batata Harra a Lebanese dish that is usually served as an appetizer. So I combined a few recipes and this is what made my mouth happiest 🙂
