  1. The recipe definitely sounds finger-licking good. It is one I’ll try out :-), especially with the roast potatoes. I see from your photo you served your glazed chicken with roast potatoes, any special way of preparing that? Thank you for sharing your Kenya recipe with us.

    • We usually boil the potatoes first in water to which some butter and rosemary leaves have been added to enhance their flavor.
