My main quibble with factory-raised white meat chicken is the lack of flavour.
But, all the fruits, cheese, balsamic, etc. would tart them up sufficiently to
at least make them interesting. If I am doing regular fried chicken -- dark
meat is my choice. Unless, of course, I have splurged on a free-range bird.
Then it's all good stuff, Maynard.

      Title: Albaloo Polo (Cherry Pilau With Chicken)
 Categories: Asian, Poultry, Fruits, Citrus, Rice
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Onion; sliced
      2 lb Chicken parts; loose skin,
           - fat removed & discarded
    1/4 ts Ground turmeric
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Pepper
      2 tb Corn oil
    1/4 c  Water

MMMMM------------------------CHERRY PILAU-----------------------------
    1/3 c  Juice from canned cherries
    1/4 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Almonds; toasted, blanched
    1/3 c  Dried orange peel slivers;
           - soaked in hot water
      1 c  Sour cherries
           Chelo; basic Persian rice
 
  Cherries and rice make one of the most unexpected and exotic
  combinations, especially when supplemented with orange peel
  and almond slivers.
  
  Fresh sour cherries are rare and seasonal, but when they are
  available can be pitted and frozen for future. Canned pitted
  sour cherries are always available in supermarkets.
  
  Put the onion on the bottom of a saucepan, and cover with
  the chicken pieces, turmeric, salt, pepper, oil, and water.
  Cover the pan tightly and cook over low heat for 25 minutes.
  Stir once or twice during this period to prevent burning.
  Should the pan dry out too quickly add 2 to 3 tablespoon of
  water. Cook until the chicken is tender and the liquid has
  evaporated. Set aside.
  
  Mix the ingredients for the cherry pilau together in a
  saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3 minutes to
  prepare the syrup.
  
  Serve the rice and pass the cherry mixture and chicken
  separately.
  
  Serves 4 to 6.
  
  NOTE: Fine slivers of orange peel may be prepared at home.
  Cut off the outer rind of the orange peel, then scrape off
  and discard the white pulp. Cut the peel with scissors into
  very thin julienne, 1-inch-long slices. Put them on a tray
  in a sunny window or other warm place and dry them for
  several days. Toss them now and then to ensure the drying is
  uniform. Store in a jar with a tight cover. When preparing
  the peel for use, soak in hot water for 2 or 3 minutes.
