Quoted By:
I break them down and use each of their three parts separately: skin for crackling and lard, bones and cartilage for stock and meat for eating.
Favourite thing is smothered porkchops, but with boneless chicken thigh instead of pork.
In a SS or CI pan, sear the boneless, skinless chicken thigh, lightly salted, then remove and set aside.
In the same pan, make a medium roux with the chicken lard, compound it with chopped onions, fresh-ground caraway and fresh-ground pepper, then top it off with chicken stock to make a gravy.
Add chopped sauerkraut and the chicken thigh, braise until cooked through, then serve with dumplings or bread.
You can make an American southern variant omitting the caraway and sauerkraut, adding Lawry's seasoning to the roux and serving it with a side of greens.
