RURAL LIVING
Did you know that chicken was
among the first American finger
foods? Our youngsters have already
Teamed that chicken is the one food
that you can pick up and eat off the
bone without chastisement. It is easier
to cat the meat from the bone than to
debonc it first, so it became popular,
especially in the southern U.S., to cut
up the chicken first and then cook and
serve it. In our quest for everyone to
be equal, and fair portions to all,
chickcn has proven to be the most
adaptable. It has become a technolog-
ical dream, and can now be mechan-
ically deboned and pre -breaded, pre-
cut and reconstituted into the equal
portions that we get at fast food
outlets.
Low in cholesterol, bland, and
acceptable to almost any palate,
chicken has given ground beef a real
run for its money in the eatery bus-
iness. The poultry industry has done
such a good job of producing massive
amounts of chickcn, that they are now
scrambling to find new ways of eating
it in order to keep up the demand.
Thus we see chicken in the bun, as
well as finger strips or nuggets avail-
able at fast food outlets. Salads with
chunks of chicken are also promoted
as popular summer fare.
Chicken is like rhubarb in that it
complements whatever you put with
it. Chicken can be cooked and then
chilled and mixed with chunks of fruit
and made into a salad; barbecued and
then chopped into chunks and tossed
with warm pasta, onions, peppers and
lemon dressing for a main course
salad. I enjoyed a chicken recipe at
our friend's place in Parry Sound.
Lynn is quite experimental with her
cooking and served up chicken with
yogurt and spices for a very tasty treat.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Don't be put off by the yogurt. It
makes a creamy gravy that even
someone with the most ardent dislike
of yogurt would enjoy. Serve on a bed
of rice with a salad of your choice.
