Anyone have an Egyptian skillet chicken recipe to recommend for tagging in this game? (No whole roasted chicken recipe unless I can modify it because I don't want to heat up the kitchen/house more than I have to.)

Suggestions? Oh, don't care for mastic if they even use that in Egypt.

What does mastic taste like?

I'm not really sure what mastic tastes like, but I bought some recently and
used it in an Egyptian recipe. I haven't tasted it in isolation, but the finished
dish certainly had an authentic Egyptian taste. I attributed that to the mastic.
Here's a pic of it and a link to the recipe I used it in.

Peggy, how big are those pieces? do you use a whole piece or break them up?

The biggest pieces are about the size of a juniper berry, although these
are flatter, not round. The recipe called for three or four pieces. I ended
up doubling the liquid, but not the mastic.

oh my. they look bigger in the photo. i'm still trying to figure out why it went so wrong for CG. thanks, Peggy!

All the grains weighed just 3 grams, so about 1/10 of an ounce.
Not big at all.
