I find it interesting
how much I’ve changed over the past few years. Before, I’d make sure that I
have plans on weekends and that I get to visit at least five restaurants to
serve as my content the following week. As I grow older (with matching aching
joints and slower metabolism), I now value staycations and enjoying my alone
time in the comfort of my own home. And one staycation got extra special when I
got a sweet treat from Köök Manila.
Hello mini vacation with Köök Manila!
I hurriedly went home as soon as the clock hit 6 pm and I
placed the vacuum-sealed Greek Chicken in the sink to thaw as I prepare my
cookware.
Since I do not have an indoor griller, I decided to pan-fry
the chicken sans the oil. Though I do not recommend this as it took me quite some
time to cook the chicken, it still gets the job done. Best to puncture or slice
the chicken to make sure that all parts get cooked. (Mine took longer than it
should have because I wanted my chicken to look pretty when I take photos of
it. Priorities.)
It was plain torture cooking this dish with an empty stomach
as the fragrant marinade filled the room with its alluring scent of mixed herbs
and spices. Even R who was asleep woke up because of it!
After 30 minutes or so of cooking, I finally got the light
brown skin I prefer. I’m sure it would have been a lot faster with a griller.
Maybe it’s time to buy one!
And it was worth the wait! The chicken was delectable and
each bite was flavorful. I loved the slight tangy taste of the chicken as it
tickled my taste buds and it made me crave for more. But for those who prefer
extra taste, I suggest that you pair it with some garlic cream dip for that
extra kick!
It’d be great for picnics and potluck parties too!
