Roasted Chicken

Since the children prefer chicken over beef or lamb,I have to find different ways of cooking chicken.They prefer to eat chicken without much spicy condiments and gravy.Here's their favourite.Roasted chicken with pepper and lemon.They had this for lunch yesterday.

This is a very simple form of roasting chicken:Wash and cut chicken into medium sized pieces.Rub over them with pepper and  salt.Place them in a  baking dish and drizzle lemon juice and dripping,preferably oil.I  put  some mint leaves  in between the chicken pieces to enhance the flavour.Baking time could take from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours,Seal the baking dish with an aluminium foil for the first 1 hour. Remove the foil and  continue baking for the remaining of the cooking time.

Yoghurt And Mint Sauce

Yoghurt And Mint Sauce

This sauce goes well with my savory snack Bread Fritters that I posted earlier.There is not much of ingredients to prepare this.And also it not time consuming.The sauce could be prepared a day earlier and refrigerated.It is extraordinarily tasty with the fritters right from the frying pan.
