Hi there,
ReplyDeleteTo avoid having to cut a whole chicken, could ready packed legs and thighs be used in this recipe?
If so, how would I adjust the quantities?
Thanks
Hi Susanna
ReplyDeleteYes you certainly can use ready jointed, it may be more expensive depending on which joints you choose but its definitely more convenient.
The quantities for the rest of the ingredients for this recipe are based on 3-3 1/2lbs of chicken, for 4-4 1/2lbs just add another 50% to the ingredient quantities and for up to 6 1/2lbs just double the ingredients. Adjust the ingredients for the corn fritters accordingly.
