That bird reminds me of something I do, which is take a mess of chicken thighs, slice them open a little bit parallel to the bone, and insert half a slice of hard salami in there. The skin will usually stay closed around the cut if you pinch it together.
Broil, bake, barbie, or bombard with 12cm radio waves to taste. I call it "Pollo Terrycado."
No pics, so I can't tempt you to try it by visual aids.
But if you can't trust me, whom can you trust, eh?
