I am hoping you will enjoy this subtly flavoured dish. It is quick and easy to make, producing a moist, tender, crispy piece of chicken. This dish is very versatile. We prefer it with skin and bone but it is also good with boneless and skinless. The choice is yours. Please note: the time listed is for skin and bone. Make as written for a subtle flavor or add any of the following ingredients: thinly sliced shallots, finely minced sweet onion, fresh lemon juice or rind, red pepper flakes, finely minced candied ginger or fresh herbs to make it taste bolder. Add as many as desired.
