This recipe calls for a whole chicken, but you can save some prep time and buy precut parts instead. For the tastiest dish of country captain, choose bone-in, skin-on chicken, which is much more flavorful than the pricier boneless, skinless pieces. To ensure a golden-brown skin, dont overcrowd the pan or move the pieces around too much. Maintain the freshness of your spices with this simple tip: sprinkling directly from the jar over the steaming hot pot allows moisture into the spice jar. Instead, measure what you need into a small bowl and then add it to the recipe.
