This yummy and original way to cook cockerel will please everyone. It is full of taste, healthy and fulfilling. And about the fries, sweet potatoes are as yummy as french fries (I actually prefer them) but are way healthier and count in your 5-a-day.
To sum up, lean protein, fibers, low-carbs and flavoury... This dish is just perfect !!!
