Haitian Chicken

This is one of my favorite ways to cook and eat chicken, it takes a while to cook but it’s so worth it! The chicken AND the bones comes out flavorful, tender and juicy. I shared a little about it on my Instagram and Facebook stories (I explain why in this post) and a lot of my followers asked for a detailed recipe!
