Fabulously easy and sooo tender and tasty!!
Yes it’s pale but we never eat the skin anyway, and it comes away so easily. No more woolies BBQ chooks for us means no more dried legs you can’t get the skin off ? Plus I’m now cooking gramma’s chicken dressing that I haven’t made since I first came here and stopped making roast chicken.
I love how this works out so perfectly for how you like it Catherine!
