I have always had trouble with the chicken getting too brown and the inside not quite done when deep frying. This sure solves that problem. I cut the chicken up before boiling and decreased the cooking time to 20 minutes. The herb seasoning is excellent; did not have marjoram, so left it out. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe, Ellie.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
