TO BONE AND PREPARE THE CHICKEN (CAPON):
|
1. Slice down the back, running the knife along the carcase inside the skin and flesh to free from the bones.
|
2. Work the flesh free of all the bones, thus removing the legs, wings, etc.
|
3. The bones can be removed joint by joint; try to strip all the meat off them.
|
4. Soak the boned chicken overnight in a mixture of lime juice and 1 tablespoon soya sauce.
