Hasselback Hunters Chicken
Hunters chicken is one of those classic pub dishes that has stood the test of time. It's a marvellous thing, a simple combination of the world's most ubiquitous fowl, the people's favourite cheese and the life affirming properties of BBQ sauce. Sit down with one of these bad boys, a plate of chips and a side salad if you like that sort of thing.
