Name: Boiled Chicken
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 floured cloth around each and put into a pot with enough boiling water to cover them well; 1 proof that the meat will be more nutritious and better flavored

Original Recipe

Clean, wash and stuff, as for roasting. Baste a floured cloth around each and put into a pot with enough boiling water to cover them well. The hot water cooks the skin at once and prevents the escape of the juice. The broth will not be so rich as if the fowls are put on in cold water, but this is a proof that the meat will be more nutritious and better flavored. Stew very slowly, for the first half hour especially. Boil an hour or more, guiding yourself by size and toughness. Serve with egg, bread or oyster sauce. (See SAUCES.)
