Mixed Platter Recipe

Baked Chicken

1. Begin by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice for at least 2 hours. 2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 3. Arrange the chicken pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. 5. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure juiciness.

Potato Wedges

1. Cut potatoes into wedge shapes and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. 2. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel. 3. Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. 4. Spread the wedges on a baking tray in a single layer. 5. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-35 minutes, or until golden and crispy. 6. Serve hot.

Cheese Selection

1. Select a variety of cheeses - consider including both soft and hard cheeses to offer different textures and flavors. 2. Cut the cheese into slices or cubes and arrange on a platter. 3. Serve with crackers or slices of bread.

Caviar Canapés

1. Cut small rounds from slices of bread using a cookie cutter. 2. Toast the bread rounds lightly until crisp. 3. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each bread round. 4. Top each round with a small spoonful of caviar. 5. Serve immediately to maintain the bread's crispness.

Fresh Salad

1. Combine shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, and any other desired vegetables in a bowl. 2. Dress the salad with a mixture of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, adjusting the quantities to taste. 3. Toss well and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Serving Suggestions

1. Arrange the chicken pieces and potato wedges on a serving platter. 2. Place the cheese selection and caviar canapés on separate platters. 3. Serve the salad in a bowl, accompanied by black olives and sliced oranges on the side. 4. Provide a glass of rosé wine or a similar pink beverage to complement the meal.
