Substituyion:
You can use 1 whole chicken cut into pieces. Here's how. With kitchen shears, cut along both sides of backbone and remove (reserve for stock); cut through breast lengthwise. Cut each leg from breast; pull each drumstick joint out of socket and cut to separate from thigh. Cut each wing from breast. Cut drumettes off wings. Diagonally cut each breast in half crosswise. Using scissors, trim any bone shards.
