chicken, green beans, corn, and sweet tea).
2. 4 minutes: discuss the logistics of the kitchen and decide who would like to help
with what.
a. Create a cooking plan with the learners based on what will need to take
place during the demonstration. There are three major tasks that will need
to be accomplished: cooking the chicken, cooking the vegetables, and
making the tea.
b. One learner should be chosen to be the main assistant for each of the
above tasks. (This is not to say that the other learners are not to assist in
any of the activities; it is just to establish which learner has the basic
responsibility over each task.)
Preparing the Food
3. 25-30 minutes: Green Beans (The green beans will need to be cooking as we
prepare the rest of the food. The prep time for the green beans will probably be
around 5 minutes)
a. Get out a pot with a lid to use for the green beans, and ask the Green Bean
Assistant to fill the pot with about an inch of water.
b. Place the pot on the stove, drop the bouillon cube in, and bring the water
to a boil.
c. Once the bouillon cube dissolves, have the Green Bean Assistant pour the
bag of frozen green beans into the pot.
d. Let beans return to a boil. Turn the stove eye to low, and let the beans cook
for approximately 20 minutes.
e. As the beans are cooking, move on to the other foods.
4. 10 minutes: Sweet Tea (Start the tea after the green beans are on the stove.)
a. Have assistant fill pan with water and place on stove.
b. Have assistant take five tea bags and tie them together. Place in pot, and
turn stove eye to just below high.
c. While waiting for the tea to boil, have assistant place one cup of sugar into
the tea pitcher.
d. After the tea begins to boil, ask the assistant to pour the tea into the pitcher
and stir. Add water to fill the rest of the pitcher, and stir again.
5. 25 minutes: Skillet-Fried Chicken (Begin the chicken while waiting for the tea to
boil. The Sweet Tea Assistant and I will finish the tea while the Chicken Assistant
continues watching the chicken.)

chicken should be browned before it is done.
