Notes
Tips and Tricks
For extra crispy skin, place the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after it has finished cooking in the Dutch oven. To save time, you can use pre-minced garlic instead of fresh garlic cloves. Make sure the chicken is patted dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a crispy skin.Nutrition
