The Oriental way:
Chicken wings have style
Ethnic dinners are today’s answer
to stylish entertaining on a shoe
string.
Look to the wisdom of the Orient
for a meal that is extravagant in
color, texture and flavo r, but as
economical as— w ell, a dinner in
Chinatown.
Through centuries o f contending
with a scarcity o f farm land and
fuel. Oriental cooks have learned to
make vegetables and grains substi
tute for meats, and to prepare foods
quickly over high heat. Americans
: are just now discovering the advan-
, (ages o f such lighter and less expen-
; sive eating.
All-American cooks who are inti
midated by Chinese cooking be-
; cause it seems complicated or re-
• quires too much dicing or chopping,
: may relax with these kitchen-tested
; recipes. A ll of them conceal short-
; cuts to success. Two o f the dishes
have quality assured by condensed
soup bases and the third gets its live
ly flavor from vegetable juice cock
tail.
The basic dinner features:
•O rie n ta l

with the traditional dessert, almond
cookies.

Fried chicken
old favorite
- ]
Fried chicken is a favorite dinner
for fam ily or company. But the
spattered grease from frying chicken
can create quite a mess in the
kitchen. For the crisp, delicious fla
vor o f fried chicken without the
mess, try oven-frying it.
Simply dip chicken into beaten
egg and roll in a mixture o f instant
mashed potatoes, grated Parmesan
cheese and seasoning. (The mashed
potatoes give it that “ fried-chicken
crunch.) Bake in a pan with Vi-cup
shortening and in one hour you’ ll
have crisp, delicious O ven-fried
Chicken.
