This video came from an online recipe..
Someone really needs to review the ingredients as they are wrong.
Examples:
1 pound whole chicken .
That would be a Cornish game hen..
As a 1 pound whole chicken would be hard to find in a grocery store..
2 tablespoons of peanut oil for frying...
Then it says add 2-1/2 inches of oil in the pot..
Also what is the 1/3 cup water used for, listed in the ingredients?
