How many will this serve? Am having guests over- will it stretch to feed 6 or I can do 1 1/2x recipe. Know that’s 2 pieces per person- but enough sauce to go around? Thanks.

Should be plenty of sauce and two pieces per person sounds right but it really depends on who those 6 people are. I always think less for kids but my 14 year old daughter must be going through a growth spurt and is eating like an adult. Then their are the folks who are watching their weight and they only eat one piece. And of course there are some of us that always go back for seconds. So know your audience when deciding how much to prepare. - RG

Why wouldn’t you just cook everything in the Dutch oven to begin with? You lose all the yummy brown bits that were in the pan.

Hi Olivia, you can just cook everything in the Dutch Oven depending on how big it is. You don’t have to lose the fond or as you call it, “yummy brown bits” if you deglaze the saute pan and add it to the Dutch Oven. This is a good method if you are using a slow cooker (crock pot) rather than a Dutch Oven. Thanks for pointing this out. - RG

I have the time - in fact, I want the time - to defat. However, how do you reheat the chicken?

I really enjoyed this one! I used chicken breasts instead of legs and thighs, but it still came out great. Thanks for all the wonderful advice on this site!
