Yes you heard me right, Chicken Neck.
I do a lot of whole chicken grills and when you buy them ( the frozen ones from the stores) the neck, liver and heart is usually stuck in the cavity ( in those days they include the gizzard but i no dey see gizzard again these days.
So no one likes to eat the neck in my house and since i have a "no waste" policy, i end up saving lots and lots of it in my freezer.
This morning courtesy the rain and cold, i thought of Peppersoup, i opened the freezer and found all the saved chicken Neck. Rather than use them for the peppersoup, i thought of the reason why no one likes to eat them in my house. It gets too soft and the texture becomes kinda soggy.
I thought of a way to transform this rejected stone into a corner stone and here we are with the Crisp and Spicy Chicken Neck with my African Peppersoup ingredients.
