Attempting the extraordinary
As much as I like sticking to
recipes (for the sake of accuracy mainly), I do like jazzing them up a bit
every so often. These happen to be the very rare instances where I’ll act
slightly more daring than usual and employ (somewhat) wacky ingredients. Sometimes
they go wrong, sometimes they go right. In this case, it was the latter
(thankfully). I’ve never really liked lavender as a fragrance or lotion; I much prefer a more fruity scent. However, when it’s combined with lemon, it’s a
completely different story. It’s also a bit of a tongue twister; I ended up
calling it lamon and lemender chicken quite a few times. Whether you want to
try it with chicken drumsticks like I did or the entire poultry, Rachel
Khoo’s French recipe is definitely a zesty dinner-time delight. As there’s
honey in the sauce, it goes perfectly with a crusty baguette. However, I found
that a mixed veggie fried rice is also a winning accompaniment. Don’t believe
me? Try it yourself.
