i tried your recipe, did it to the letter.....it turned out looking fantastic, but as my folks were eating, i noticed they were pealing off the coating and then the skin of the chicken......i asked why and they said the skin was rubbery and not good eating.......did i do something wrong?
Thank you :) Yesterday i converted the values and just tried out the recipe.. And it was really delicious! The coating was kind of like this “KFC-Stuff” but much better… The chicken flesh itself soft and tasty!
Hello. I’m glad you enjoy the video. All of the temperature degrees are in Fahrenheit, but that is equivalent to about 205 degrees Celsius. I’ll have some more videos up soon. Hope you enjoy!
I’d have a short question: do you mean degrees in fahrenheit or celsius? My oven’s highest temperature is about 250 degree celsius.
