Capons are chicken thighs and legs that have been deboned. Leaving the skin intact while baking keeps in the moisture and creates an even juicier chicken.

Stuffing

  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped

  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 2 zucchini, chopped

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil or 6 cubes Gefen Frozen Basil

Absolutely delicious. More than the sum of its parts.
Used paprika and garlic powder instead of duck sauce to keep it sugar free.
