Chicken and Turkey

Universal favorite

Part of a healthy diet

If your lifestyle is the modern busy type, then chicken is for you. It is convenient, versatile, flavorful and nutritious.

The product choices in stores make meal preparation an instant success. Whether it's drumsticks or Glazed Chicken Wing, there is a recipe for you. From entreé to appetizer to Soup you will find a recipe with chicken.

It rates in quality with other meats as a complete protein. Minus the skin and rich gravies or sauces, it can also be a choice for low-cal diets.

Marinades work equally well with poultry as with beef. But, because it is dryer and more tender than beef there are some different rules.

Helpful Hints different from Beef:

Bake at once or marinate in covered pan in refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer.
Liquid salad dressings, i.e., French, Italian, etc. are a quick marinade

Use new seasonings sparingly until you learn if the family likes them. Once you have tried experimenting, you will find you can serve poultry frequently, inexpensively, but never monotonously.
There are as many ways of cooking chicken as there are ways of cooking.

Rotisserie and barbequing cooking rules are generally the same as for beef. A whole bird is best on the spit as pieces dry out easily. However, brushing with a Marinade or basting sauce frequently helps to keep portions moist.

> Cooking Times: Barbequing for a whole bird is approximately the same as roasting.

These cooking techniques and rules can also be applied to turkey. Just don't try putting a turkey over 12 lbs. on a spit. It might end up in the coals.

Time Saver Tip:

Don't stuff your bird.
Add flavor with marinades or seasoning and onions sprinkled inside and outside.
Try preparing Stove-top Stuffing. Here are some other ways of using and cooking Poultry
