Recipe Notes

To debone the chicken, take a kitchen shear and make a straight line above the bone in the thigh. Then by using a scissors, cut around the bone so that you are able to lift the bone out. Make sure to cut as closely as possible to the bones, to avoid wastage. Cut it through the end, so as to remove the bone from the end part also.
