Ingredients

Method

  1. Joint a fowl as for fricassee;
  2. put it on the fire in enough cold water to cover it;
  3. bring it to a boil slowly, and cook until tender.
  4. Unless the chicken is quite young this should require from 2 to 3 hours.
  5. When it has been simmering about an hour put in a sliced onion, 2 stalks of celery, 3 sprigs of parsley, and a teaspoonful of paprika.
  6. When the chicken is done, arrange it in a dish, add to the gravy salt to taste and the juice of 1/2 a lemon and pour it over the chicken.--From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.
