Hi. I´ve been desiring to cook a chicken this way since Isaw your post. Looks completely dellicious. But, living in northern spain, I have a couple of doubts. What could I use as a substitute of the caul fat? Or could I skip that step and simply avoid using it?
The other one is what can I substitute the lotus leaves for? A friend of mine suggested using vine leaves, but I think the best idea should be using the paper you can use in the oven.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Roxy, Yes I would still cook the chicken for the same amount of time. Slight cracking should not affect the result much.

Just as a headsup, I think someone has misappropriated two of your pictures over here, along with (possibly) some of your text. ilearn-culture is a corporate production and they're presumably trying to make some money from it.Whether you do anything about it or not is up to you, but I found that in my internet wanderings today and thought you should know.

Hi. It’s great to find the real “clay-clad” beggar’s chicken recipe online! I am planning to make it for the Canadian Thanksgiving. I am very excited about it! I have a quick question regarding the caul fat. Is there substitution for this ingredient and what is the consequence of omitting it. Also, do you think you can improve on the recipe and what are the improvements. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.
