Georgian Spitted Chicken With Plum Sauce

If the story of the fall reveals our own sin and guilt, it surely also reveals the amazing depths of God’s love and mercy. It was the Son of God who placed a sword at the entrance to the Garden of Eden. He did it not just to keep Adam out. He did it so that, at just the right time, he could walk through in our place, to satisfy God’s just wrath and make a way for us to enter back in, through the gate, to eat from the Tree of Life and live forever in the glorious presence of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash chickens and wipe dry. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange,  skin
side down, on a grill or broiler rack. Brush well with butter.  Put in
a preheated broiler and cook under medium heat for 50 to 60  mins or
until tender, brushing occasionally with butter. Turn a few  times
during cooking. While chicken is cooking, combine plums,  garlic,
coriander or parsley and red pepper in a sauce pan; season  with salt
and pepper. Cook on the stove long enough to heat through.  To serve,
arrange chicken on a platter and garnish with tomatoes and  cucumbers.
Serve sauce separately to pour over chicken. NOTES : In  southern
Russia, a favorite method of preparing poultry is to  :         serve
either spitted or broiled chicken with a sauce made  with  :        
green gooseberries, pounded walnuts, sourcream or fruits.  One of  :  
the most typical sauces is tkemali, which is made with a  base of  :  
wild or sour plums that grow only in the Georgian republic.  It  :    
is not possible to duplicate the recipe outside of the  region,  :    
but a good substitute can be attempted. This is an excellent  :        
entree for an outdoor meal.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster
