Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Broiler-fryer chickens are economical, all-purpose chickens weighing from 3 to 3 1/2 pounds. You can buy the whole bird and cut it into parts, or buy the chicken already cut up.
  • tip 2
    Pair this classy chicken dish with steamed broccoli spears and wild rice blend for a stunning presentation.
