Very nice Ria. I am going to try this over the weekend. AP
Mine turned out perfect, perfect, perfect. Thank you, Ree.
This gets my vote for the best chicken recipe ever. It requires minimum preparation, no complicated techniques or ingredients and comes out perfect every time.
I made some today again and we are still lickin' fingers.
Thanks!
Glad to hear you all like this recipe. Its one of my favourites too.
