You might ask me why am I saying that 'chicken' is the real fajita ingredient, well the answer is quite simple because this is how the old cowboys used to do it back in the good'ol days!

The story goes that cowboys in the past used to gather every month (when pay day is near) and they take some chickens off their farms and together with their wives and children celebrate that no one of them was injured during their work.

They would do a barbeque with the chicken and all the pieces would be included in a wonderful sauce which the wives would prepare for their husbands. The chicken would later be added to some spicy sauce and everyone would eat until they can't get any more chicken!!

The problem is that many people keep insisting that the original fajita recipe consisted of beef or steak nevertheless this is not the exact history of the fajita.

The truth is that in texas in the 1800's there was an overwhelming amount of chickens in farms and some of the farm owners even paid the cowboys who worked in these farms with meat and chickens instead of being paid in money. The problem with chickens was that altough today we know that their white meat is very healthy and even tastes good, however in the far west in the old days chicken was considered as second class food.


However the wives of the cowboys (whoose main job was actually to bread farm animals and not to fight and shoot each other as depicted in the movies) decided to try to prepare a barbequed form of chicken and their pieces added to lots of spicy sauce and these would end up in in a fajita. Surprisingly the cowboys liked this food, the children too and the chicken fajita has been a popular recipe ever since!
