Perdue ones. Perdue Cornish come from the Roaster breed
which Perdue geneticist Norman Lupean developed, and which
is only available through Perdue. Unlike broilers,
roasters reach market size at twelve weeks. Both Perdue
Cornish and the Oven Stuffer Roasters were bred to have the
broadest, meatiest breasts in the industry.

MEXICALI CHICKENServes 4-6
When you buy a chili powder for use in a Mexican dish like
this one, you can be pretty sure that as long as you stick
with the same brand, it will be about the same "heat" next
year as it was last year. Having this kind of quality
control is difficult because, first, there are more than
5000 known varieties of chilies, each with their own degree
of "heat" and second, the same variety grown in a different
climate or different year will vary considerably. The
chili powder manufacturers get a consistent product by
adjusting the formulations each year.
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
