Chicken in a jar

There is a particular taste that has stayed with me since very early childhood- my gran’s chicken confit! Or as they non-posh-ly call in in the village she came from: “jar chicken” – “kokoshka v burkan”) The taste is actually amazing – the meat -even the white bits- just melts in the mouth. And with that you have the fatty, spreadable tasty bit on the top and the juicy, jelly bits to scrape from the sides and bottom of the jar and gulp down…oh..my mouth fills up just thinking about it! <br />It is amazing how the brain never forgets a taste and how fast your tongue can recall it, many of years later, sending your whole soul into salivation, into “I have to have this” mode! <br />This is a method that people in the Med still use to preserve meat and it's still wonderful, even though old fashioned.
