Your Best Buy Chicken for Dinner

CHICKEN CURRY . . . delicious served with coconut.
(AP News Features)
There are broilers and fryers
galore these days, so got out
your best chicken recipes and
let your family enjoy good poul
try dishes. One of the things I
like about a fried chicken din
ner is that the rest of the menu
can be simple as long as there's
plenty of the chicken around.
Perfect complements for either
broiled or fried chicken are:
French fried potatoes (quick
frozen and ready to be heated)
or shoestring potatoes out of a
can, a big bowl of cole slaw,
and hot rolls or biscuits. There
are new kinds of rolls to buy
these days, partly baked and
needing only a short browning
In your own oven. If you make
the biscuits from scratch add a
little more milk to the standard
baking powder biscuit recipe
and drop them to save time and
trouble in rolling.
For broiling, chickens should
be young, tender birds weighing
not more than 2!i pounds. Have
the birds cut in quarters or in
halves. Be sure to brush both
sides of the broilers with fat;
place the broiling rack so that
the top of the chicken will be
about 4 inches from the heat.
Regulate the heat (or change the
position of the rack) so that the
chicken is colored lightly In
spots at the end of 10 to 12 min
utes. Turn and baste with fat
every 10 minutes as browning
Increases. Cook the chicken un
til evenly browned and tender,
season and cut the halves cross
wise. The quarters will not have
to be cut again. Pour the pan
drippings over the birds or make
a gravy of it.

There's nothing better than
curried chicken and here's

Potted Meat Dish
When you buy a rib roast of
beef, you can have the short
ribs cut off to cook for a later
meal. Or if you prefer to cook
the whole roast at one time, just
have your meatman crack the
bone at the point where the
short ribs begin.
Then cook the roast in the
usual way and before carving,
remove the short ribs. Store
these in the refrigerator tightly
wrapped in waxed paper or
aluminum foil. Within a few
days you can cut the meat off
the bones and grind for potted
meat. This is an old English
favorite which makes delicious
sandwiches and is a change from
the usual ground beef and may
onnaise sandwich spread.
Using the fine blade of yourj
meat grinder, put the beef j
through three or four times to
make very fine. Season with
salt, pepper, and a little onion
salt to suit the taste. Add water!
or bouillon to moisten slightly
and press down in a shallow
bowl. Cover with a layer of:
molted butler or margarine.'
Potted moat also makes deJight-;
fill appetizers.
