A quick and tasty starter meal?? Cook the BUTTERFLY CHICKEN

BUTTERFLY CHICKEN

A lip smacking recipe recommended by my dear mom in law, which is made from a fusion of chicken and potato served as a starter or as a snack along with mayonnaise.

As a daily routine of mine, I hang up a lot calling my family and share my stories with them. So, there came a trouble for me of my son starving. he was not interested in anything to put in his mouth even in hunger. my mom in law came with a suggestion, "hey try the butterfly chicken". And my son enjoyed it.
