Chicken pie is that one snack that every Nigerian has eaten while growing up. The fast food Mr Biggs just seem to mean meat/chicken pie to me back then.
Meat pie is really a unique meal that is filling and tasty with a good texture that gives a wonderful sensation to the tongue, Sometimes I like to call it the surprise pie, because of the fact that the pie covers what is inside of it. Trust me, you will be surprised by some road side so called meat pie which seem to have just potatoes inside(just when you think you where going to see some meat/chicken in it), that seriously is a bummer.
Our amazing subscriber Ameenat sent us the process in which you can make the meat/ chicken pie and our conclusion to this is "It's not that hard after all''
