MY FAVORITE HEALTHY CHICKEN RECIPE
This effortless and whole nourishing recipe will be one of your favorites too. A classic juicy and crisp skinned chicken served with fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs such as thyme and bay leaf can be made in short time. I like to use the chicken drumsticks on this recipe as the most of the time they are juicy and easy to cook. Besides, I figured out adding the white wine will enhance the flavor more.
