Chicken with Tarragon Marinade
Pane-Bistecca
Roast chicken is something very fine, as is this chicken with tarragon marinade! Tarragon is very aromatic and is used to season pickles, poultry, rice, fish, marinades, Bearnaise sauce and vinegar.
In ancient Egypt, during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut from 1490 to 1468 BC, perfumes and scented oils were highly prized and thousands of kilograms of different plant species (including tarragon) were distilled to produce scented oils. The scented oil was then burned in Egyptian temples. The plants used to make the scented oils each had a different meaning, depending on which deity they were associated with. The statue of the god Isis was covered with the perfume oil of the tarragon plant. If the deity Isis was to be asked for a favor, the scented oil of the tarragon was burned as an offering.
Tarragon is considered the only traditional German culinary spice that was not used by the Romans. The oldest evidence of its use dates back to the second millennium BC in China. The ancient Greeks knew tarragon as drakos (snake, dragon) and used it for magic. The Arabs adopted it from there as tarchun, DMG ṭarḫūn and used it to flavor their dishes. (from Wikipedia)
