Excuse me if i sound crazy.. but what exactly is chicken dripping? Its time i go back to my roots..learn to cook like the place i was born...
ReplyDeleteI went back and edited the recipe. It was confusing the way I had it first. The chicken dripping is really the liquid at the bottom of the pan that you cook the chicken in.
