Cooking Notes
The chicken should be crisp it's gave Taste when eating
Thought the chicken turned out very tasty. I left out the tomato and added carrots in addition to the onion and potatoes. I did mess up the chicken skin turning it over but I didn't use a rack so I might in the future if I wanted it to look pretty.
