I love chicken pieces baked in a sauce, but my repertoire is quite limited as I don't do dairy with meat (kosher) and my family is looking for something other than chicken in honey mustard with curry sauce or chicken in a tomato/veggie sauce. My internet searches haven't turned...

My mother,a Holocaust survivor, made chopped liver with 1 lb. chicken livers and 1 lb. beef livers combined. She always used a Spanish Onion. She broiled the livers first. The beef livers have to be cut up into smaller pieces or slashed if left whole so the blood...

Read moreAbout Me
I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
