A Chicken in Every Pot
Chicken needs a press agent. Nobody says , “Hey I just can’t wait to sink my teeth into a properly roasted chicken.” That exclamation is reserved for steak or redefined steak a.k.a. Hamburger. The healthy folks of the world eat chicken breast poached in mediocrity. The party people get together and have wings. Not sure who eats the leg and thigh except customers of KFC. Last but not least chicken organs, ok – guts. We’ve run into a media imaging issue. Even if I said try some sauté chicken livers in vodka with toasted walnuts, you would probably opt for day old KFC.
Chicken is just like you and me. A lot of us don’t look so great naked and without a certain amount of trimmings and little cooking like tanning, nobody would have us for dinner.
So after a few ingredients later and some quality time under a heat source, you look a lot better than when you woke up.
Once you get though the basics there are a million things that you can do with chicken. Every culture has a chicken recipe. We should celebrate the lowly chicken with a world wide movement. Perhaps international day of the chicken we could all do eh chicken dance at 11:30 and then take a chicken to lunch. The celebration would end approximately one hour and 350 degrees later with only one person coming back from lunch.
