    whole chicken recipe is new for me.. too tempting..
    yucca halwa with pumpkin seeds is innovative..

  5. I have never cooked an entire chicken without chopping! Does the salt go all the way in with just slits? Any other trick for marination? That too cooked whole chicken in a pan! How do you know its cooked through without cutting some? Thermometer like in oven? Anyway, looks really cool!
