25/02/2025: If there is one thing that knows how to conquer the palate, it is the perfect balance between crunchiness and softness, between the scent of tradition and the authentic taste of simple but extraordinary ingredients. And this is exactly what I found in this fantastic trio: wood-fired rotisserie chicken, potato croquettes and panelle.
Spit Chicken: a Wood Cooking Masterpiece
The first thing that strikes you is the inebriating aroma of the chicken, wrapped in the scent of the wood that cooked it slowly, giving the skin a crunchy and irresistible browning. When bitten, the meat is juicy, tender, perfectly flavored with well-measured spices that do not cover the authentic taste of the meat, but enhance it. A triumph of simplicity and mastery, where every bite tells of the time and care dedicated to cooking.
Potato Croquettes: Golden Clouds of Taste
We then move on to the potato croquettes, which with their perfectly golden crust and soft and creamy interior represent the very definition of comfort food. Each bite is an explosion of flavor: the potato is velvety and well blended, with a light flavor that makes them irresistible. Frying? Perfect: dry, crunchy, without a trace of grease.
Panelle: the Authentic Taste of Sicily
Finally, panelle, a true icon of Sicilian street food. Thin, golden and fragrant, with that unique consistency that melts in the mouth leaving the characteristic aftertaste of chickpea flour. A small traditional masterpiece which, perhaps accompanied by a few drops of lemon, reaches absolute perfection.
Conclusion: An experience worth repeating
When the quality of the ingredients meets the wisdom in the preparation, the result is something exceptional. This dish is not just a meal, but a journey into the genuine flavors of tradition. The chicken, with its masterful cooking, the croquettes with a perfect consistency and the panelle with an authentic taste create a gastronomic experience that deserves to be tried again and again.
If you are looking for a mix of authentic and satisfying flavors, this combination is a real must.
