Reserve Back & Rib Pieces For Stock or Another Use. ~~ 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. |

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! :-). |
