Steam Roast Chicken
Steam Roast Chicken (Cooked 2 ways)
Steam Roast Chicken is a flavourful and nutritious dish, popular in Pakistan. It is said to be one of the main dishes for big events including weddings. The marination of the Chicken is the most important part for the preparation of this dish. Your can either Steam Roast the whole Chicken or have it cut into pieces. I have used skinless Maryland pieces as it is easier to make slits in them. I have mentioned 2 methods of cooking it and you may choose any method as per your suitability. The 1st method is the healthier version whereas the 2nd method requires the Chicken to be deep fried before it is steamed. The reason for steaming the chicken is to maintain the succulent texture of the meat. Steam Roast can be served with grilled vegetables or fresh salad and can be eaten with either Nans/Rotis or Rice.
