EGYPTIAN CHICKEN

Bites of seasoned chicken breast mixed in a pilaf with currants, almonds and sauteed vermicelli. I got this recipe from a student (thanks Petroula!)and it has pleased even the fussiest and most unadventurous eaters,namely my MIL and BIL, so I would recommend it whole-heartedly. It's also very simple to make, you only dirty one pot and it makes a large amount.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CHICKEN

Based off a marinade recipe, I used this for a whole chicken that I then cooked in a broiler. Brine chicken overnight in a salt/sugar/water mix first to draw out unwanted fluids and to tenderize the meat. After soaking, marinate the chicken as directed.
