Friday Faves

Cooking chitchat 🌞

Happy Friday! Today, I’m writing about a meal I’ve had on repeat the last few Sundays.

My Favorite Bite

Every Sunday, I keep coming back to this spicy Punjabi masala-roasted chicken and spiced corn salad. I’ll be making it again this weekend, so I can get the final recipe posted.

This might sound strange to some, but I never felt confident roasting a whole chicken, so I rarely tackled it. It intimidated me so much–even more so than turkey or duck–but recently, I feel like I finally can make one with no hiccups! I don’t know why, but that was such a liberating feeling for me.

Similar to how I felt when I finally had basic cake recipes down pat. What a joy it is that I can just whip up a cake any time I want straight from my noggin!

And now, I can say the same about a whole chicken. I know it seems very basic, but I love that I can just present a beautifully trussed chicken to an army of guests any time I want. Not that I’d likely ever find myself in a situation where I have an army of guests that I’m trying to show off my chicken skills to, but IF I DID, I’d be ready.
