Day 4: Saudi Arabia

Today was the first of our random countries. We  honor Saudi Arabia with Roasted Chicken Al-Kabsa.



Serves: 2
Yield: 4 pieces 


Ingredients:
1 whole baby chicken, cut into 4 
3 tablespoons olive oil 
1/8 teaspoon turmeric 
1/2 teaspoon baharat  
1/2 teaspoon kabsa spice mix 
salt 
3 cilantro, springs 


Directions: 
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. 
2 De-skin the chicken. 
3 Season with spices and olive oil. 
4 Place in a roasting pan and into the oven for 40-50 minutes. 
5 Garnish with cilantro and serve 
6 Enjoy! 


Recipe Alterations: Yeah, we just used boneless chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken.


Our Opinion: We did put enough spices on for sure. There wasn't much taste, although the chicken itself was juicy and perfect. The pieces I did have with a lot of spice were interesting. The flavor almost comes through the smell of the spices rather than the taste of the spices... kind of like Jeni's Ice Cream in Columbus if you've been there. (If not, GO!) Aside from the dish, the spices were difficult to come by and were pretty pricey, so that's something to keep in mind when you're shopping.
