Richard Kiel Birdseye Ad




The late Richard Kiel - aka Jaws - advertised food products for Birdseye in 2013.

Richard said: 

My steel teeth are only available in museums nowadays, but Birds Eye’s fish burgers are a little easier to bite into than a cable car, and a lot tastier. I’ve had four teenagers myself and know how big their appetites are, so it’s good to see food developed just for them.”

Poulet Gloria

A dish Bond eats at Blofeld's Swiss mountain top house.

Ingredients

4lb/1.8kg of organic chicken
some butter and olive oil
half a cup/125ml of dry white wine
6 finely chopped shallots
1 cup/250ml of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of mustard
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill
salt
pepper

Cut down either side of the backbone of the chicken. Open the chicken and flatten it on a work surface.

Season the skin with salt. Rub the skin with butter and olive oil.

Transfer the chicken to a roasting tin and roast about for 1 hour 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

For the sauce, boil the wine and shallots in a pan for about 4 minutes. Reduce heat and add the cream. Cook for two minutes on a low heat. Add the mustard, dill and basil and simmer for a further two minutes. Add salt and pepper.

Serve the sauce with the chicken.
