Is there anything more comforting than chicken? Not just any chicken but the kind your mother or granny makes. You know what I mean, chicken with character –steeped in tradition — made with love — and oozing with flavored juices from a different land or era.
My mother makes the best chicken as I’m certain yours does. It brings her so much joy when everyone gathers together and savagely tear into her hard work. It makes all the time she spends in the kitchen worthwhile. The pleasure only intensifies when rivulets of salty, spicy poultry goodness starts dripping from every available appendage and flying to and fro. To any mom, there’s no better scene.
Do you get a warm and fuzzy feeling at the first bite of your mom’s chicken? I know I do.
