These have either skin or no skin that is up to you we take ours off.
Season the chicken however you like it, we use garlic powder, salt and pepper and keep it plain and simple.
This also works great for grilling, boiling the chicken first to ensure it completed cooking on the grill and the broth makes great soup.
Stretching the budget to go further is a neccessity with a larger family and this is something we grew up doing.
The chicken can even be put in freezer bags and reheated if you feel it's way to much, or just cut your recipe in half, we tend to purchase larger quanities and it's less expensive in bulk.
