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...
I 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.
Sorry for the confusion. Thank You for visiting my site...ONELOVE
finally someone posted a recipe! Do you think it could be made in a crock pot?
