This Argentine BBQ Method Changed How I Cook Chicken FOREVER!

whole chicken

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Thighs are often less expensive and remain juicy when grilled.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable and has a high smoke point.

red wine vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

Apple cider vinegar offers a similar tang at a lower cost.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Dried parsley provides flavor at a lower price.

Sear the skin of the chicken and ensure all tiny feathers or impurities are removed.

Prepare a marinade with turmeric, paprika, black pepper, and a generous pinch of salt.

Coat the chicken in the marinade, ensuring every inch is covered.

Measure the barrel to ensure it holds enough space for the chickens comfortably.

Build a construction to hold the chickens above the fire.

Hang the chicken onto the construction, letting it dangle freely above the fire.

Fire up the oven and roast the chicken slowly in a cocoon of heat and smoke.

Chop fresh greens and mix them with eggs to prepare a topping for the roasted chicken.

Cook the mixture of greens and eggs until done, creating a dish called chigirtma.

Serve the grilled chicken with the chigirtma and share it with guests.
