Recipes from: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Globe? Cooking Camp 2018
Lynley Jones
In this week of camp:
Believe it or not, every nation on Earth eats chicken! This week, we cooked and ate chicken dishes from around the world, following the path of the chicken as it spread around the globe. We made Chicken Adobo from the Philippines, chicken meatballs and potstickers from China, Kerala chicken curry from India, Doro Wat chicken stew from Ethiopia, and Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic from France - with sides and fixins for everything. We split into teams to compete in a week-long Chicken Olympics, with a chicken taco cooking competition at the end of the week!

Chicken poached in vinegar and soy sauce with garlic, bay leaves and black peppercorns, then broiled dark and crispy. A super-flavorful classic Filipino dish that’s simple to make. Plan ahead to make rice bowls with the leftovers…
Indian chicken curry with coconut milk and spices, topped with curry leaves and red onions fried in coconut oil. This dish is a classic Sunday supper in the southern coastal province of Kerala, India.
Collards simmered with butter, olive oil, garlic, ginger and spices, then finished with a bright squeeze of lemon juice. Addictively good, and guaranteed to make a collards-lover out of anyone.
The classic French dish, with succulent chicken bathed in a rich, golden broth. All those cloves of garlic turn creamy, mild and spreadable in the slow oven braise. Be sure to have lots of crusty French bread nearby to sop up every last drop.
A South Indian approach combining thinly-sliced green beans with coconut, Indian spices and a hint of chile.
The simplest way to prepare broccoli in the oven (with a huge flavor bang for your convenience buck).
Potstickers served with Sriracha sauce and Hoisin sauce. Plus, how to make Asian meatballs with the extra filling!
