On the last Sunday of each month, Francisca, following her grandmother’s tradition, spoiled all the workers of her chicken farm by making her own recipes of charcoal-cooked meat, fish and chicken and inviting them to a family Sunday where they arranged traditional games, drank Tizana, and played Bolas Criollas and Dominos. That is how this dish became the pride of our tradition: “El Pollo de Doña Francisca”.
