Yeah you can make this on the stove this is how we started making it but now I prefer to make it in the crockpot and then come home to it
Depending on how the chicken was processed we have had it where little bones were left and then fell apart and we kept finding them though our not a very pleasant experience
As the fat and skin Cooke thru would realize a lot of fat and with how we cook it the skin doesn’t get the nice crispy that it does when grilling or pan frying
