Meat and Poultry Recipes

White Meat Chicken, the white meat of turkey and all game closely follow fish as the best source of protein for a healthy heart. Chicken and turkey can be prepared in such a wide variety of ways. They are low in harmful fats, especially when the skin is removed. Compared with domestically reared creatures, all game is low in fat. I suppose that the struggle of surviving in the wild keeps them lean!

GRILLED CHICKEN

A grilled chicken is one of the nicest foods at any time, and particularly in summer. Everybody likes it and chickens are reasonably priced, within even the most slender means.
   For good grilled chicken buy a first-rate fresh bird or chicken quarters if you can't face jointing the bird yourself, but remember that chicken pieces are more expensive.
  Rub the pieces with lemon juice, fresh lemon thyme or marjoram, sea salt and pepper. Sprinkle with olive oil.
   Heat the grill. Place the chicken on the wire grid, skin side up. Turn after S minutes and seal the other side. Turn them over again and baste with juices from the pan. Lower the heat a little and cook for another 5 minutes on each side (a total grilling time of about 20 minutes).
   The chicken joints should be golden brown with slightly crispy skin. They must be cooked so that the juices run clear, not pink, at the deepest part of the joint when gently pierced with a skewer.
   Spread a mixture of salad leaves and roughly chopped herbs (parsley, chives, a little mint, a little fennel) on a long dish. Put the chicken on to this bed of green and add a few generous lemon wedges.
    Drain off the fat then sprinkle the hot juices over all before serving, together with some more pepper, if you like, and a few drops of fresh lemon juice.
