Ladies, I hope your momma schooled you on the way to a man’s heart. It is time to shut down your nosey aunts and friends when they inquire about your love life. Get to the store and buy a whole chicken right now. This chicken recipe will make this your last Valentine’s Day as a girlfriend. Well, that’s what the buzz is about. Can someone ask Meghan Markle if it is true? Let’s get to the bottom of this.
The engagement chicken surfaced around 2003 from Glamour’s editor Kim Bonnell. She took a trip to Italy and developed the recipe shortly after. She shared it with a few female co-workers and noticed a correlation between them being proposed to after making the chicken for their significant others. Glamour published the engagement chicken article in 2003 and the recipe quickly became a trend amongst many single and anxious women.
Do you think these women are crazy for believing in this? Well, 70 couples reported to Today that the engagement chicken was the foundation for their proposal. Some people still don’t believe the hype and will debate that there is nothing special about this chicken.
Which could be a fact, it is simply a roasted chicken. But recently Prince Harry and Meghan Markle disclosed their engagement day and guess what they were eating? Yup, roasted chicken. There may not be anything special about this recipe, but it may be something special about this chicken. Catch my drift? If you’ve exhausted every other proposal push with your current boyfriend/ girlfriend, try it. What else do you have to lose?
