Chicken Quarters

[sherrardk]

I have chicken quarters (the breast with the wing bit attached) but I only need the breast bit (on the bone and skinned) for a slow cooker recipe. Will it make any difference it I cook them with the wing bit left on (it turns me taking the skin off, let alone hacking the wing bit off). Thank you.

Humber - I am doing a Chinese style thing that ends up with 'pulled' chicken and a sauce (this is the only thing I have cooked in the slow cooker so far). It's cooked on the bone, skin off but the chicken I have has the wing bit still attached to the breast and I am squeamish around meat and can't abide hacking the wing bit off (not too keen on the skinning it bit either).

leaving the skin on won't make much odds to the cooking and it's easier to take off when cooked.. Have you got some poultry shears? takes the grief out of the "hacking"
