Notes

Note 1: Ideally, it is best to use 1 whole chicken so that you can have all the cuts available. However, you can definitely use pre-cut chicken pieces especially if you are making this for fewer people. Boneless chicken breast or thigh works good too.
Note 2: Margarine is a good substitute ingredient for butter.
