My granddaughter, Taylor, reminded me of a chicken recipe I've had since the 1960's. It's called "Communist Chicken" or "Little Red Hen" and there's a story to explain the strange names. I'll post it in the future. In the meantime, please send in your recipes. This is a wonderful place to collect recipes that have been used over the years by families like yours.
