By “casings”, do you mean the skin?
Dear Chris Norma Drumm,
I meant cleaning up the excess layers from between the joints. I hope this clears things up.
Thanks for reading us!
Do you mean the “cartilage” when you said “excess layers from between the joints”? I wonder, since that is one of the best and healthiest part of a chicken. Properly cooked it becomes soft, easy to eat and it contains collagen that helps with joint pains, one of the reasons why chicken sup is so healthy and tasty. Or did you mean that yellowish layer over the skin on the chicken leg, which should be cleaned off? Or any leftover yellowish layer on the skin between the wings that sometimes also has some leftover hair/feather like substance, which some finds gross? Thank you.
Add a mixture of chopped garlic, eros Pista, grated ginger and chppoed coriander and you have gone to heaven.
