My husband has always been the cook in our family. But with Covid hitting and me staying home more, I’ve really been doing some exploring in the kitchen. Well last night I made this chicken. WOW! Even my husband who is an excellent cook said this is the best chicken he has ever eaten! I will be making this again, and again, and again.
