Chicken is one of the most popular meats across the globe. The sheer love for it can be seen in the versatility with which the chicken is cooked around the world. And thanks to its versatility, it gives us enough room for experimenting. From rich Indian curries to Middle-Eastern wraps and shawarmas or baked chicken from the west, seems like the world just can't get enough of chicken.
