To Prepare Chicken

πŸ“

If using pre-cut chicken pieces, just divide the breasts & you are good to go. In either case, use paper towels to pat the cut pieces & remove any excess moisture.

  1. 1
    If using a whole chicken , cut into 10 pieces as follows: 2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs + 2 breasts (halved). Reserve back & rib pieces for stock or another use.
  2. 2
    Place 3 tbsp of the flour + the salt & pepper in a lrg plastic bag , shake chicken pieces in it till lightly coated & set aside.

Cooking

πŸ“

NOTE #1: Splitting the breasts allows for more uniform cooking, but also allows for ea of the 4 portions to include a piece of dark meat + 1/4 of the breast meat. If you prefer to plate this dish as individual servings, divide the chicken in that manner & then add equal amts of the other ingredients + the sauce. Then add the 2 wing portions to the plates of those w/the heartiest appetite! :-).
