Default Will you try this "chicken" ?

This lizard, which is now common here in the island, is being cooked and eaten around here. Locals call it Gallina de Palo, or "tree chicken", and they say it tastes and looks like chicken meat. I will try it as soon as I find some cooked one.
It grows pretty big, I have seen them around 4-5 feet long. They are not originally from here, they got introduced as small pet green lizards, but when they grow, people release them into the wild, and they reproduce. So now we have too many of them, I see them on the roads all the time.
