Take a chicken, cut off the wings, legs and neck. Separate the breast
from the chicken, leaving it whole. Cut the back into two pieces.
Prepare a mixture of salt, ginger and a little pepper in a saucer and
dust each piece of chicken with this mixture. When you are ready to cook
the chicken, take all the particles of fat you have removed from it and
