I got this recipe from one of my aunt. Last time I visited her house, she had made it and I could not stop licking my fingers, it was so tasty. I made sure I got the recipe before I left her house, which she was more than willing to share, Here is my Babali aunty's Chicken Ghee roast recipe.

- Every 5 minutes or so... gently stir and turn over the chicken pieces.
- Cook until most of the moisture is observed.
