About

I don’t think it’s possible to cook a perfect roast chicken when it’s whole. The breasts will always cook quicker than the legs. When I cook chicken at home I always remove the legs and cook them separately or use them in a casserole or curry.

Ingredients

2 free range chicken crowns (the whole chicken without the legs)
