TV CHICKEN RECIPE

Tv chicken recipe

TV Chicken isn’t about cooking chicken on TV, though that does sound like an interesting cooking show idea! Instead, it gets its name from the way it’s cooked—in a rotisserie oven with a glass window. This allows customers to watch their chicken twirling and roasting, which is oddly mesmerizing.   

 

This popular street food in Kampala is like a chicken celebrity. It’s marinated in a blend of local spices, giving it a unique and tantalizing flavor. The spices vary, but often include paprika, garlic, ginger, and a touch of chili for a little kick.

The chicken is cooked until it’s golden brown and juicy. The skin becomes crispy and irresistible, while the meat remains tender and flavorful. It’s usually served with a side of chips or matoke, a starchy dish made from steamed and mashed green bananas.

TV Chicken is a must-try for anyone visiting Uganda. It’s a delicious and affordable meal that’s sure to satisfy your taste buds. Plus, it’s fun to watch your chicken getting its groove on in the rotisserie!
