About this video

In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet chicken for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.

What is chicken?

Chicken cooked in every tradition: roast chicken, rotisserie, chicken tikka, wings, nuggets, chicken parmesan, Nashville hot chicken. Chicken is the meat the tribe eat most, so the interest is in the method.

What to watch for

A whole roast chicken with just salt, pepper and herbs is the interesting case: familiar meat, unfamiliar restraint. It is usually judged good but under-spiced. Anything marinated and grilled is approved at once.

The comparison they always make

Desi chicken — small, tough, deeply flavoured village birds — in a karahi or a curry is the standard. Soft, fat supermarket chicken is a texture difference the tribe notice before anything else.
