How To Make chicken pox? absolutely not...
-
1In a sauce pot put the ginger ale, orange, salt and green onions, and bring it to a boil, then add the chicken, cover and turn it down to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken off, remove the cover and let it cool in the broth. -
2When it is cool put the chicken in a container, broth and orange too! Put it in the refrigerator overnight.
-
3Then the next day { when you are ready to cook it } skim any fat that has collected on the top of the liquid and then discard the oranges.

4Remove the chicken and wrap it in several layers of paper towels to absorb the wetness on the chicken.

6Mix the flour with the chipotle seasoning, salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off any excess.

7Once you bread the chicken, let it sit out on a cooling rack for 30 minutes to set the flour. Then shake it in the flour again!
