Chicken kelaguen - the meal prep manual

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a baking dish place the chicken breast side down. Remove the giblets from the cavity and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Cook the bird for 60-75 minutes (plus or minus 10 minutes) on a lower middle rack in the oven. I flip mine over to the other side around the 50 minute mark. Use a meat thermometer to temp the breast meat and ensure it is around 165°F.

Step 3

Once the chicken has cooked and cooled, tear the meat away from the bones, remove the skin, and cut the chicken into a small to medium sized dice. If you want extra flavor you can include some of the skin. Place into a large dish.

Step 4

Dice the onion and green onions into small pieces and add to the chicken.

Step 5

Add in the lemon juice, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together and taste, adjust the flavor with lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt as you see fit.

Step 6
