Since any meat will do for Freeman, we suggest you take advantage of the summer weather and prepare barbecued chicken. If you grill your chicken, it's best to parbake the chicken for ½ hour before placing it on the grill. Parbaking will cut your grilling time substantially. Potato or macaroni salad prepared to your liking will complete the meal nicely.
