To Broyle Chicken Presented for Table

To broyle chicken with sauce

At the Pennsbury Manor fundraiser dinner Thursday evening September 24th , over 110 people enjoyed a beautiful evening with the paths  illuminated with candles, the music and voices of the Tuckers, and the offerings of food  at many stations on the grounds.

Those that meandered down the path to the Bake and Brew found myself and hearth cook Margaret Lapolla preparing Portugal Cakes for tasting and describing a table symmetrically arranged with food as if the Penn’s would be imminently dining. 

The receipt (recipe) for To broyle chicken which had been prepared on the gridiron was presented with a sauce containing anchovies, forced meat balls, cockcombs and garnished with lemon and served on a pewter reproduction charger.
