Notes
Maggie
Have you tried this recipe with bone in skin on! ? Knowing of course cooking time will be longer? Too greasy?
Karin and Ken
I have never tried it but now you’ve got me thinking. First I worry about the skin on the chicken so I would likely remove it. The skin won’t cook properly. Otherwise it would work. I’m going to try it myself. I hope you try it too. Then we can compare notes! I apologize for my delay in responding. We had a death in the family and I almost forgot I had a blog. Please take care and thank you again for the suggestion. I’m always grateful. All the best. Karin
