Til Chicken Roast is a magnificent and intensely flavorful dish where succulent chicken pieces are coated in a thick, toasted sesame seed paste. I use local black or white sesame seeds ground with garlic, green chilies, and a touch of black pepper to create a dark, aromatic crust. This dish is a symbol of regional comfort, often prepared for special family gatherings in the heartlands. The taste is remarkably bold—nutty, savory, and carrying a magnificent sharp fragrance from the toasted seeds. It is an honest representation of heritage cooking that uses simple seeds to create powerful flavor profiles. I recommend serving it warm as a premium appetizer or with soft flatbreads.
