    I agree, quite the best way to cook chicken- and for me has a great flavour of my youth when it was the preferred method.And also, you get the best stock.

    That’s what I loved about this recipe: several dishes for the price of one decent chicken. The flesh just falls off the bone and you end up with the most incredible stock. Everyone’s a winner!

  3. I have never tried poached chicken whole. Seems as easy as roasting one. My husband likes boiled chicken breasts so I’d imagine it isn’t much different. I agree however that removing the skin before presentation is a good idea before serving it at the table.

    Definitely remove the skin, Liz. No one likes the wrinkled look of something that’s been sitting in a water bath for the last hour! That aside, sauces are a great disguise, or a sprinkling of chopped herbs.
