This Chad roast chicken was super simple to make, tender and delicious. It would rival any rotisserie chicken anywhere. The skin was amazing with a wonderful crunch to it. I will make this often. Serve with courgette with peanuts for a real treat.

Chad style roast chicken

I always wonder why on earth I don’t roast chicken more often.  It is so easy to make and I end up with left overs that I can usually turn into two other meals.  We loved this Chad roast chicken served with  mashed zucchini dish with peanuts, it almost felt like a Thanksgiving meal.  I like to make a Chinese chicken salad or enchiladas with the leftovers.  How do you like to use left over roasted chicken?  Please let me know in the comments below.  I know you are not supposed to eat the skin, but the way this chicken is cooked it is awfully hard to resist that perfect crunch.

Did you know that it is taboo to give a child an egg in Chad?  Evidently they believe it will cause their child to grow up to be a thief!  Want to learn more about the African nation of Chad?  Be sure to check out “Our Journey to Chad” to find out more.
