Rao's Famous Lemon Chicken (Pollo al Limone) Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 30 min Level: Easy Serves: 6 servings Ingredients 2 2 1/2-to-3-pound broiling chickens, halved 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley Lemon Sauce (recipe follows) Directions To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces). Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches. Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute. Remove from broiler and portion

Tips: Picnic

Keep these simple tips in mind to ensure your day is all about rest and relaxation. Freeze drinks the night before. Not only will your drinks stay cold the next day, they'll help keep your food chilled. To keep your picnic festive, bring a colorful and comfortable blanket. Extra towels can serve as pillows when sunbathing or napping. Set up your picnic in the shade. Although baskets can be quite stylish, a cooler packed with ice is safer. Make sure foods that are meant to be served cold are thoroughly cooled before packing. If you're driving, transport your cooler in the air-conditioned car, not in the trunk. Throw away any food that's been out of the cooler for more than an hour. Tips: Roasted Beef will bleed. Supplies When packing a picnic, don't forget these essentials: Blanket Insect repellent Napkins Plates Silverware Serving Utensils Cups and wine glasses Corkscrew or bottle opener Paring knife Cutting Board Condiments Damp wipes or clot
