Choose the chicken

Being a dish with simple and not very elaborate flavors, the choice of raw material is critical. The best option would be to find a chicken grown outdoors, free to roam everywhere and fed with high quality food: that of the farmhouse outside the door, so to speak. Find a free-range chicken, living in the city, is unfortunately a more unique and rare undertaking. So contact your butcher of trust: will advise you a product as genuine as possible, with a lot of quality certifications. Not having a neighboring butcher, you can count on the meat line coming from biological farms of your favorite supermarket.

Do you eat your skin or not?

It is undoubtedly the tastiest part of the dish, but it always creates guilt complexes due to the fear that it is too fat and bad for your health. In reality, the skin of a chicken, if well cooked, it loses a large part of its fat, becoming a dry and crispy crust. It all depends on the amount of seasoning used to cook chicken: if you do it in a sea of ​​oil, even the skin will absorb a large part, becoming greasy and not very digestible. If, on the contrary, you adopt a cooking method that will allow you to obtain a result very similar to the chickens cooked on the spit, without added fats, then you can enjoy it without hesitation.
