This one from reader Laura Soule has the ol' World Wide Recipes
Groan-O-Meter stressed to the max:
It was the late 1600s in Philadelphia when Quakers were routinely
arrested for civil disobedience. At the time, William Penn's mother
and two of her sisters owned a successful Quaker business, a bakery.
The women increased the price of their pies, specifically donating the
money to support the legal expenses of their Quaker friends.
Many in the town objected to paying the price increase on political
grounds, and there were extensive and public debates about the pie
rates of Penn's aunts.

This recipe calls for baking the chicken, but you might try this
recipe for your next backyard cookout.
Sesame Lime Chicken
4 - 6 chicken legs, skinned
4 - 6 chicken thighs, skinned
1 medium onion, chopped
3 - 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh lime juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) dry sherry
1/4 cup (60 ml) orange juice
2 Tbs (30 ml) grated fresh ginger
1 Tbs (15 ml) honey or sugar
1 Tbs (15 ml) hot chili oil (optional)
3 Tbs (45 ml) sesame seeds, toasted
Combine all the ingredients except the sesame seeds in a large bowl

baking dish and bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 35 to 45
