Notes

Tips - I've found it easier to do it if I wear gloves, then you're not worried about getting chicken in your fingernails and your hands all greasy. Be sure and save the chicken carcass. I store them in the freezer until I have 3 or 4 and then I make chicken stock.

Tarragon vinegar - can substitute white wine vinegar or make your own Tarragon Vinegar.

Raisins - or currants.

Kalamata olives - or your favorite olives.
