Do you remove chicken neck before cooking?
1 PREPARE THE CHICKEN
Check the body and neck cavity for giblets, remove and discard them if you find any. With paper towels, thoroughly pat both the outside and inside of the chicken dry. Removing the moisture from the skin helps the chicken roast better, making for crisper skin.
Can you leave the neck in the chicken?
Pick the bird up by the neck with one hand and twist the body around with your other hand. A couple turns and the neck will come right off. There will be a lot of neck skin remaining on the bird. Leave it all there if you want.
