Chicken Stuffed with Forbidden Apples and Currants
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}(Ricky Eisen,)
Hunger Games underdogs, Rue and Katniss, develop an important alliance while sharing a meal of groosling. So this recipe could really cover more than one scene from the Hunger Games, that is, if we decide to substitute chicken for groosing, a fictional game hen from District 12. Another important scene is when Katniss first tries chicken, a forbidden delicacy in the starving ghettos of District 12.
