Crispy Skinned Chicken with Moroccan Carrot Puree
I am in love with my Stasher Bag. There. I’ve said it. (Sorry Mr. H.) They are so great to use for so many things, and I am enjoying playing around with all the ideas you can imagine at the moment...it may wear off, but I doubt it!
In case you are wondering, yes I do mean 100°C not Varoma temperature (when you get around to cooking this!!) and yes you can adopt this idea for so many other things...don’t be shy, let your imagination run wild. Enjoy...
PS. You may need 2 Stasher Bags, just saying.
