    Some times the recipe was confusing and other times it was fun cooking chicken with chicken. We did mess up some times but it came out good and it tasted really good. While the chicken was cooking I got to meet Christian's little brother. We also went outside with Christian's neighbor which is also my friend. After it was done cooking me,Christian and, his brothers ate it.
