Author's Comments

The best part of this dish is the skin, which is crispy and flavorful. For a healthier dish, remove the skin and just add salt and herbs to meat. Any kind of herb mixture can be used in place of the herbs de providence, which is usually a combination of thyme, marjoram, rosemary, basil, fennel, sage, and lavender.
