Jamaican stuffed chicken with cheese balls

One of the items on today's menu for the one day class was Jamaican stuffed chicken. It was a big hit !!! The stuffing for the chicken had our very own Goan chouriso and cashew nuts besides other ingredients. The secret ingredient was a dash of rum after roasting the stuffed chicken . We will be starting our regular classes on the 6th of May .
