I have served a plated meal with the chicken and sides plated and passed the meat family style, I found that works Grt.
Once I did chicken leg qtr with bbq sauce and brown sugar over sliced onions & the other kishke stuffed chicken.

This sounds nice. How do you do this?

There are exact recipes. Basically you make a very thin potato kugel like on a cookie sheet. Bake partially then add pastrami & roll up & return to oven to continue to bake. Then slice up.

A lot of people won't eat meats with sugary sauces (my entire family, for example). A lot of people don't eat kishke.

Make something simple like a grilled chicken breast. Maybe it won't be everyone's favorite, but most people will eat it.

Logistically, getting it to hold right and look right is very complicated. Smile

Pastrami around the sides. Holder removed.
If you're making in advance or freezing, remove the holders while cold/frozen to make removal easier and neater.
Use a good holder.

Thanks a lot. One more question: should I use turkey pastramy or regular pastramy?

Regular beef pastrami that comes in a long slice.

Breaded boneless chicken thigh (baby chicken/pargiyot).

For an easier pastrami potato kugel, bake individual kugels in muffin cups lined with a slice of salami before pouring batter in.

RA mom always to the rescue! Love these nice & easy potato kugel. Seems like it would be a nice presentation too! Will have to try this once! Thanks for the inspiration!

For my simchas I plated and put meat and chicken on each plate. Yes, I put too much food on the plate but I didn't want anyone to go home hungry. With the meat, I either served grilled chicken, schnitzel (baked) or chicken pastrami rollup.

I have done a slice of three types of roasts....chicken or turkey roast, lamb roast, and beef roast.

There are many meat and chicken recipes without sugary sauces.
