About

Fried chicken is not only popular from outlets like KFC but also from Chinese restaurants throughout Trinidad. There, the chicken is cut up into bite-size pieces with the bone as it is with nearly every Trinidadian chicken dish. While I find the bone imparts good flavor, I am not too fond of whacking the pieces with a huge cleaver in order to get the same result, so I’ve adapted this dish using chicken wings which makes it ideal as a party nibble for a crowd.
