      It says skin off the thighs before cooking…but photos show it is on. Which is it for macros?

        I used a sprig of Thyme instead of rosemary. And, bacon grease instead of olive oil to avoid Omega 6. Really good chicken and super easy to make

          Is it the one serving has two pieces of thighs? Kinda confusing

            Yes, 2 thighs per serving. You can find the info in the About the Recipe section where it shows the number of servings.

              Soooo good and filling! I also tried with chicken breasts the second go around. Love the flavorful seasoning either way!

                Was very good! I will be making this again, next time using chicken breasts.

                  Chicken breast is good too. I soak chicken in milk for an hour before cooking then pat dry and fry ,it comes out jucier.
