Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  2. add to it two-thirds lb.
  3. of morels, stewed in butter, and complete the cooking of the chicken, under cover, in the oven.
  4. Dish the chicken with the morels upon it;
  5. swill the sautépan with a tablespoonful of brandy;
  6. add thereto the juice of the morels, two tablespoonfuls of meat glaze, and one and one-half oz.
  7. of butter, and pour this sauce over the chicken.
