Cut the chicken into pieces. Discard the back and any other ickkys. Coat
lightly with German horseradish mustard. Grill until done but not overdone.
Close to the end of cooking, brush agian with the mustard. (It also works
with a SHARP honey mustard from the area arround Hannover) Sprinkle lightly
with chopped fresh dill weed. Serve with the best sauerkraut (well drained)
you can find and serve with sliced potatoes cooked in goose fat until crisp
and well browned.

No wine. Serve with Spaten Pils or another equally good Pilsner style beer.
If you are using a Northern mustard, I suggest a Dortmund Union beer in
place of the Spaten. Just keep in mind that you can NEVER go wrong with
Spaten! If you want to add an appetizer I recommend a round of German black
bread slathered with goose fat and topped with a thin slice of onion and a
sprinkle of salt. This goes especially well with Schlichte Steinhager Gin
(cool not cold and no ice).

If you want.a dessert course, you might consider a simple apple torte with a
pot of French press dark roasted coffee. If you don't want the French bit,
substitute some heavy cream on the torte and a glass or 2 of Hine VSOP
Cognac. The Hine will go well with the torte ( in my experience Hine goes
well with ANYTHING!) Diners still may require either coffee or a bed...
