An almost naked, and deliciously simple chicken appetizer.
By Jerri Green
That’s naked. Not necked. For those of you who aren’t southern, let me explain. Naked means bare, usually without your clothes. Necked means you are without your clothes and doing somethin’ you are supposed to be doin’. And while these chicken drummies aren’t necked, my carnivore husband claims they are dangerously good, even though they are nearly naked. This recipe is from a past issue of Bon Appetit.
