Ki & Ka Roast Chicken Recipe

R K Balki’s ‘Ki & Ka’, staring Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor releases next week, and the internet is abuzz with excitement about the film, which will highlight gender roles in Indian society.

Kapoor Cooks For His Ki

For instance, one teaser still of the movie features Arjun Kapoor cooking a meal in his kitchen while his wife (Kareena Kapoor) is presumably off at work.

Indeed, the whole movie revolves around the fact that Kareena Kapoor plays a career driven woman, while her husband, Arjun Kapoor, plays a homemaker.

That Roast Chicken Though

While we’re excited to see how the film will challenge gender roles, this still also evoked excitement because of the look of that chicken that Kapoor is presumably preparing to roast. We can almost picture it coming out of the oven; golden and juicy with a wonderful citrusy aroma.

Have we piqued your interest? Here’s a roast chicken recipe inspired by the still that you can try – enjoy it with some red wine and your Ki (or Ka).
