Sunny Chicken

You are my last hope in trying to find a recipe that I tried 30+ years
ago! It was called "Sunny Chicken" It was a baked chicken dish and the
glaze on it was made from lemon jello. The recipe was printed in the
Akron Beacon Journal around 1970 in Ohio. I hope you can help!  Thanks
very much!  gzulia

Timm sent this:

I have an old recipe for Sunny Chicken but I am not sure if it is from 
the Akron Beacon Journal.

Sunny Chicken 
 
Ingredients:
2 to 3 lb. chicken thighs and/or breasts, boneless
3 oz. box lemon Jell-o 
3 to 4 tbs. prepared mustard 
2 to 3 tbs. margarine, melted 
 
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Mix the Jell-o, mustard and melted 
margarine and then brush on the chicken pieces. Bake at 350F degrees 
for about 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces; brush on more of the 
mixture and bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken juices 
run clear.
----------------
Sunny Glazed Chicken 

1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
1 3-oz. package lemon gelatin 
2 tbsp. butter, melted 
2 frying chickens, cut up 

Stir together mustard, dry gelatin and butter. Place chicken pieces,
skin-side down, in shallow, foil-lined baking pan. Spoon or brush half the
mustard mixture over chicken. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn
chicken, brush with remaining mustard mixture, and bake 20 to 30 minutes,
until tender. 

Serves six to eight.

A thank you goes to the Lifestyle Columnist, Lisa Abraham, and librarians
at the Akron Beacon Journal. She graciously e-mailed the recipe to me
today after a two week search through paper files. There were no
electronic files prior to 1985. I am posting this recipe for Barbarainnc
and anyone else who may have been looking for it.

Someone was looking for this recipe, I posted about it and "Haggered Mom"
on the QVC Board found it!!  :) :) :)

Albertson's Crab Log

Albertson's in Texas carries a great crab log spread which I haven't been
able to find in their stores since I moved to Colorado, nor  can I find 
a recipe for it on the internet.

Other than crab and cream cheese, I don't have any idea what was in it.

I'd be grateful if you have any ideas, even the ingredients would be a
great help. I could then experiment with quantities.

Popeye's Pocket Sauce

I used to get a sauce at Popeye's that was obviously made fresh at 
the restaurant.  It came in a little clear plastic cup with a lid. 
The employees called it "pocket sauce" and it seemed like a mix of 
mustard, mayo and maybe relish.  It was not spicy - it was sort of 
sweet. Anyway, I can't find the recipe anywhere and when I go to 
popeye's now and ask about it, they've never heard of it. I know 
they served it in the 80's.  If you can help, I'd love it.
