Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
The Nigerian chicken pie is the meat pie's softer cousin: a half-moon of short, buttery pastry filled with shredded or minced chicken cooked with potato, carrot, onion, thyme and curry in a thick creamy gravy, glazed with egg and baked golden. It is sold hot from glass cabinets in bakeries and fast-food chains, packed into lunch boxes and served on small-chop trays at parties. A good one is moist inside and crumbles at the edges.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
