Watched liquid as suggested in a comment. Still seemed too much liquid when done but turned out to be just right. Good taste. Crispy skin from solid frying and keeping above liquid. Make againbbb

Picture was pre oven. Chicken was great, I used drums instead of thighs. Bacon needed to be crispier. There needed to be less liquid. I would make it again with some tweaks.
