SOUTH STREAM TIPS

If possible get the chicken thigh skin on. After browning the chicken you can also add some white wine and reduce. At the end you can add some aged balsamic vinegar for darker color and richer flavor. Serve with a glass of white wine and some fresh baked baguette and some nice olive oil. Also good with mashed potatoes.
