Buckden Roundabout
March 2018
BUCKDEN WI
At our February meeting Days of Buckden our local butchers were warmly welcomed to our
meeting. Jason and Paul inspired us on how to prep a chicken in seven ways. Boning a chicken
into various parts – breast, thigh and wing. How to Spatchcock a chicken by removing the back-
bone and flattening it. We were all intrigued by this.
Jason and Paul then prepared whole chickens, breasts and thighs with different fillings – mozzarella, tomato, bacon
and sage and onion stuffing. Members were encouraged to suggest different fillings. Several chicken meals were
prepared ready to cook and advice was given on the best way to cook these meals. At regular intervals Chloe came
with pieces of sausage for us to try and this was welcomed by the members who enjoyed the tasty treat. A very in-
teresting evening enjoyed by all as Jason and Paul were entertaining with their banter between each other. Mem-
bers were able to ask questions which were ably answered by Jason and Paul.
At the next Meeting Tuesday 6
th
March 7:30pm in the Millard Suite at the village hall our speaker Tori Alexander will
be talking all about bats. The competition is an acrostic poem on the word BATS.
