Why do I call it “Funeral Chicken”? When my uncle passed, I made this dish for my family. In Lebanese culture, we try to ease the burden for those who are grieving. The next day, everyone asked me for the recipe because apparently, my chicken helped them forget their sorrows for a moment. Since chicken quarters are affordable, I decided to make this meal for the entire varsity football team before their crossover games. It’s a budget-friendly and delicious! They won the game! Winner winner chicken dinner, right? So, let’s get started. First, you’ll need to prepare a brine and soak the chicken overnight. This will allow the flavors to really soak in and make the chicken extra tasty as you wait! 10 pounds bone in chicken @saadwholesale #halal delivers nation wide BRINE 6 cups boiling water 1 c salt 1/4 c lemonade powder 1 tbsp Italian herbs 5 bayleaves 1 tbsp citric acid 1 tbsp pepper 1 lemons 🍋 1 preserve lemon @mina 1 onion Mix brine ingredients together evenly incorporated then add ice cold water and chicken with Brian to a large bucket then refrigerate overnight.
