Curry, ginger, garlic, coriander, parsley, rosemary, suneli hops, citrus fruits (lemon, orange, lime) and honey will make the chicken taste special. In Turkish cuisine, tender white meat is served with natural yogurt and mint. In the European version - with mushrooms, bacon, cheese, olives and dried apricots. If you are roasting the whole bird, stuff it with slices of fresh apples or quince, which will give it a more subtle flavor. Chicken meat in the company of asparagus, tomatoes and cream can be an excellent filling for French quiche. And in combination with pineapples - for pizza.

Easily digestible protein

The benefit of chicken lies in the white meat, which contains a large number of easily digestible protein and many other nutrients. Protein is very important for the body - it is a source of essential amino acids, strengthens the immune system and maintains muscle tone. The balanced composition of amino acids in chicken meat is important for the nutrition of children. It is a building material for bones and muscles, as well as the development of mental abilities.

Which meat to choose: chilled or frozen?

Frozen meat should only be purchased if you need to stock up on food for a week or a month. When choosing meat for barbecue, give preference to chilled products - they are usually fresher and more tender, and the dishes made from them are more juicy and tasty.

What is important to know when choosing a place

When going on a picnic, perhaps everyone wondered where it was better to get together with friends in order to have a good rest. Beautiful places with various activities in Moscow there are many. One “but” - not all capital parks allow barbecue. Illegal lighting of fires is punishable by a fine of 4,000 to 300,000 rubles. Find out which ones are equipped with fire-fighting equipment and are available for a delicious holiday.

How to check the freshness of meat?

Fresh chicken has whitish-yellow skin with a pink tint and a subtle smell of fresh meat. When cut, the muscles of a fresh chicken are slightly moist, and the internal cavity of the carcass is shiny and free of mucus. A high-quality carcass does not have fractures of the legs and wings, curvatures of the back and chest bone, as well as dark pigment spots. The chicken should look appetizing even in the store and make you want to cook something delicious!

How to dress for a picnic to be at ease

Needless to say, clothes for a picnic should be comfortable, not too light, but also not a country-garden outfit that you don’t feel sorry for. A denim jumpsuit, a T-shirt with a burger design or a total black look will be just right. Light running sneakers, unusually shaped sunglasses and a cap with a funny print will complete the look. When the evening cools down, throw on a denim jacket or a plaid flannel shirt.

What does proper packaging look like?

Proper packaging allows the product to be examined and is not damaged. The label contains the production date and expiration date, storage conditions, information on compliance with regulatory documents, state mark of conformity, name of the poultry farm, place of production and brand name. Give preference to poultry in factory-branded packaging with the manufacturer’s branded label with an expiration date. This is a serious guarantee of the quality and safety of the product.

What to take with you on a picnic

The success of a picnic directly depends on careful preparation for it. In addition to the standard picnic kit (barbecue, coal, ignition, dishes and garbage bags), you will need a mini first aid kit with a band-aid, mosquito repellent and sunscreen. A weightless raincoat or umbrella will help you have an unforgettable vacation without losing your mood due to sudden rain.

To nature, to barbecue!

Proper barbecue begins with the choice of meat. It should be not just fresh, but the freshest! If you don’t have the time or desire to marinate it yourself, it’s quite possible to stick with ready-made options. For example, a juicy kebab of lean chicken breast in a spicy barbecue sauce from Petelinka is suitable for those watching their figure. And lovers of traditional tastes will love chicken marinated in herbs. And don’t forget about the grill, which guarantees even cooking of the food.

IN Lately In the capital, more and more areas specially equipped for picnics began to appear. Anyone can barbecue at these sites. The total number of places where you can barbecue for free in Moscow in 2019 is more than one hundred and fifty. Almost all of them are located in parks and nature reserves.

To calmly sit at a picnic site on a weekend or holiday, come as early as possible - there are many people who want to have a shish kebab or barbecue in multimillion-dollar Moscow, and even in not very clear weather it is better to take a place in the morning.

Whatever the weather, Muscovites traditionally believe that everything will get better in May: spring will come, and so will work. We have selected 8 parks from 8 metropolitan districts where you can safely barbecue and enjoy nature.

Kuskovo

You can celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited spring in a magnificent way in Kuskovo, where the Sheremetyev family of Counts once walked and had fun in every possible way on fine days. In the modern park, along Rassvetnaya Alley and near the Big Palace Pond, guests will find equipped picnic areas with wooden benches, tables and barbecues under the roof. In total, the park has 32 barbecue points, including free and paid ones. Moreover, the first ones are of a very non-trivial nature, but the second ones are full-fledged gazebos, hidden in the shade of green fir trees, where you can calmly retire with a group of friends. It is important that Kuskovo has convenient parking and clean toilets.

Serebryany Bor

Serebryany Bor looks a little more modest compared to Kuskovo. There are already 22 legal barbecue areas waiting for visitors. You can find them at the sand depot and on the territory of the ecological trail “Near the Bottomless Lake”. The equipment includes stationary barbecues, vandal-proof tables, benches, trash cans and cozy gazebos and tents. The nice thing about Serebryany Bor is that you can fry everyone’s favorite May treat not just in nature, but on the shore of the lake, where already in the first weeks of spring you can wet your feet and, by the way, enjoy the air of the ecologically clean zone of Moscow and the Moscow region. Families with children should definitely go here: on the ecological trail, children can meet herons, cranes and owls.

Such comfortable conditions, of course, are not free, but in honor of the opening of the season, prices have been reduced.

Biryulevsky Arboretum

You can be transported from the concrete jungle to a real nature reserve, without leaving the Moscow Ring Road, in the Southern District of Moscow, in the Biryulevsky Arboretum. More than 250 species of rare plants, 15 alleys, Sakura grove,-all this is a small fraction of what is spread out in the endless green spaces of the park. After a day spent here, pleasant harmony inside will definitely not keep you waiting. All you need to do is arrive here early and have time to occupy one of the nine free picnic points or rent a comfortable gazebo in advance. Despite the fact that rental prices are steep, for a large company they will be very appropriate. Moreover, the expected range of services included in the rental price is truly impressive. For example, when you rent a warm wooden gazebo for the day, you will receive a wooden veranda, light music, a music player, a heat gun, sockets, a barbecue, skewers, furniture, a bag of coal and a bottle of lighter fluid. All you have to do is bring marinated meat, and a great picnic is guaranteed.

Troparevsky Park

Troparevsky Park, located in the Western District of Moscow, is ideal for those who love quiet and secluded places, of which there will, of course, be few during the May holidays. The sparseness of the park is primarily due to its location - from metro station Konkovo or metro station Yugo-Zapadnaya you will have to walk 2 km, which, of course, not everyone can do. However, if your pedometer records such a large distance, you will be rewarded: 20 comfortable gazebos under the roof, high barbecues for grilling kebabs, a pond where you can fish and even rent a boat, as well as live nightingale trills, which will definitely surpass in sound quality even the most powerful alarm clock. No matter how much you would like to, you shouldn’t forget about the time in Troparevsky Park: the park closes at 21.00.

Khimki Landscape Reserve

Residents of the Northern District of Moscow can also afford to relax in a secluded park - in the Khimki landscape reserve. You can get to the place from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station either by bus or by car. Picnic points are located near Levoberezhnaya and Dybenko streets. In most areas there are gazebos under the roof, tables and benches, however, as for barbecues, you will have to take them with you. In addition, it is worth considering that the picnic points in Khimki Park do not differ in capacity - a maximum of 6 people. At the same time, there is something to have fun here: for example, watch birds or get acquainted with moose, and you can complete your vacation with a horse ride at the CSKA equestrian sports complex.

Altufevsky Nature Reserve

In the North-East of the capital, there are a total of 12 picnic points (6 - in Altufyevo, 2 - in Medvedkovo, 3 - in the Lianozovsky tree nursery, 1 - in Severny). The leader in their number is the Altufevsky reserve; there are as many as 6 zones for grilling kebabs near the street. Leskova and st. Melikhovskaya. Competition in North-Eastern Administrative District is high, because there are not many forested areas here, however, if you arrive very early, you can get an excellent place on the edge of the forest with a good-quality gazebo, a large table, benches, trash cans and, most importantly, a vandal-proof barbecue. A significant advantage for vacationers will be the close location to the park of various grocery stores where you can buy everything you need. A pleasant bonus is the presence of the Altufevsky spring, where in case of hot weather May holidays, you can quench your thirst.

Moskvoretsky Park

Moskvoretsky Park is located in the valley of the Moscow River and unites several vast territories at once: the Kirov floodplain, the Stroginsky floodplain and the Shchukinsky Peninsula. It is not possible to come here just for barbecue, because the history of the park is so rich, and the natural landscape is so unique and diverse that even 24 days are not enough to explore them. Among the entertainment there are excursions along the floodplains with a visit to the military-historical “Alley of Life” and the “Cedar Field of Memory”, the Pheasantry aviary complex, sports grounds, children's playgrounds and carousels, etc. There are also plenty of picnic areas here - about 20, however, to find them you will have to get creative. When searching, pay attention to the street. Isakovsky, Odintsovo embankment and Cape Clean Bay. If luck smiles on you, you will find beautiful and free gazebos, barbecues and tables with benches. By the way, it wouldn’t hurt to take a small carton of milk on such a trip: there are a lot of hedgehogs in the park who want to eat.

Kuzminki Park

The same amount of entertainment as Moskvoretsky Park can be called Kuzminki-Lublino Park in the South-Eastern Administrative District. It is divided into three zones: cultural ( historical monuments, environmental education center), leisure (ecological trails, exercise grounds, swimming areas, beach volleyball) and picnic-forest (about 30 areas for barbecuing, including 28 bear canteens with oak tables and benches). There are a lot of ways to spend your leisure time in Kuzminki, so it’s worth thinking carefully about your vacation program. So, if you don’t want to wander through the forest on your own in search of a picnic area, a week before the celebration, call the park administration and reserve a place increased comfort"business class" or reduced "economy class". Most points are equipped with stationary barbecues, but if you don’t want to take the same skewers with you, you can easily rent them. In the park, guests are always greeted not only by a lot of people, but also by animals, so stock up on nuts for the squirrels and carrots for the hares.

Bitsevsky Forest Park

Bitsevsky Forest Park is a fairly wild forest area where you can spend the day in complete harmony with nature. There are not many picnic points here - about three. They are located on Balaklava Avenue, st. Ostrovityanova and at the intersection of st. Golubinskaya and st. Inessa Armand. Despite their small number, they are quite decent: spacious oak gazebos, tables and benches and areas with barbecues. However, given the high traffic volume of the park, it would not hurt to take a portable barbecue with you, because the quality of the installed ones leaves much to be desired. If desired, guests can stay not only on the free site, but also rent an entire grill house near Sevastopolsky Prospekt. If May barbecues seem insufficient for entertainment, then you can always take a walk to the famous noble estates of Bitsevsky Park: “Znamenskoye-Sadki”, “Yasenevo” and “Uzkoye”., VK/

To find yourself at a picnic, you just need to leave the entrance and walk a hundred steps deep into the forest park, which is right in front of their windows. On a rectangular area among the trees there is a table, a place for barbecue, and a trash can. The guys brought with them not only meat, vegetables, bread, skewers, coal and dishes, but also a dozen plastic chairs and multi-colored inflatable balls, writes Zvezdny Boulevard.
“We’re going to celebrate a friend’s birthday, we have to come early on weekends, otherwise the place will be taken,” says Anastasia.
There are six such points in the Altufevsky reserve. The part is located on two clearings closer to Leskova Street, you can come here even without your own barbecue, there is a public one here. There are usually 4-5 companies seated at the tables.
Those who come when everything is already occupied go further to the gazebos, which are also used as a picnic area.
And here is the Lianozovsky forest park. The signature method of residents of Pskovskaya and Cherepovetskaya streets who go to barbecue at the local reserve is to cover the picnic gazebo with film so that the wind and smoke from the barbecue do not interfere. Here the “kebab” points are not so crowded; some are hidden in the thick of the forest. If it weren't for the smell of fried meat, you wouldn't find it.
There are many trash cans and containers in the park, including for separate waste collection, and toilet stalls are installed.
Visitors to Otrada Park, on the border of the industrial zone on Novovladykinsky Proezd and the residential area at the beginning of Dmitrovskoye Highway, are greeted by a stern announcement at the very entrance. It threatens a fine of 3 to 4 thousand rubles for lighting a fire and using barbecues outside special areas - “according to the Moscow administrative code, article 3.20.”
But there is no need to run into a fine: in the ravine along the Likhoborka River there are a dozen specially equipped sites. On each there is a table under a canopy, benches, a compacted circle for barbecue, and trash cans. Those who do not have enough space are located on wide parapets, the barbecue is placed directly, but on the path.
- You can’t put a barbecue on wooden flooring - it’s a fire hazard, but on paving stones - why not? Please! - say the guards.
The ravine is narrow, everyone is in sight of each other. It disciplines. Most people take the trash with them when they leave. It can be
leave it - in a tied bag, of course - behind the utility block near the bridge.
In the new recreation area at 62–64 Selskokhozyaystvennaya, there are large picnic areas - one for 20, the other for four large tables with long benches for eight to ten people. On top is a canopy from rain and sun. For every two tables there is one wide grill, a little to the side there are trash containers.
“We don’t have a dacha, we go here almost every weekend,” says Elena Vdovina from Zapovednaya Street. “We used to grill kebabs closer to the house, but someone would definitely come out there and start screaming, like, there’s smoke, there’s a smell.” And here everything is adapted for this.
Near the picnic area there is a children's and sports grounds, and there is parking. Large companies like to come here to celebrate weddings, anniversaries, and corporate events.
“This year there are six zones in NEAD where special picnic areas have been set up,” said Lyudmila Mikhailova, press secretary of the Department of Specially Protected Natural Areas (SPNA) for NEAD. - You can’t light a fire or fry meat anywhere else.
The previously operating picnic areas on Dzhamgarovsky Pond and in the green area near Sukhonskaya Street are currently closed. There were many complaints from residents of nearby houses about smoke and the smell of frying meat. Picnic equipment at these points has been cut off and the sites have been dismantled.
