Wash chickens and wipe dry. Season with salt and

rack. Brush well with butter. Put in a preheated
broiler and cook under medium heat for 50 to 60 mins
or until tender, brushing occasionally with butter.
Turn a few times during cooking. While chicken is
cooking, combine plums, garlic, coriander or parsley
and red pepper in a sauce pan; season with salt and
pepper. Cook on the stove long enough to heat through.
To serve, arrange chicken on a platter and garnish
with tomatoes and cucumbers. Serve sauce separately to
pour over chicken. NOTES : In southern Russia, a
favorite method of preparing poultry is to
: serve either spitted or broiled chicken with
a sauce made with
: green gooseberries, pounded walnuts,
sourcream or fruits. One of
: the most typical sauces is tkemali, which is
made with a base of
: wild or sour plums that grow only in the
Georgian republic. It
: is not possible to duplicate the recipe
outside of the region,
: but a good substitute can be attempted. This
is an excellent
: entree for an outdoor meal.
