Wow lovely flavours with out it been to intense. I used 1 chicken only so decreased the spice to 1/4 the quantity Used cracked black pepper instead and then dry fryed it with the other spices so have more controle of the amount you putting in. Subtituted olive oil for canola, added 1/2 the amount added green olives and doted with a small amount off butter...Was yummy Thank you for a gr8 recipe will be making it often.Reply
