RAGOUT OF CHICKEN'S WINGS.
THIS ragout is only to be recommended when it happens that a
number of fowls or chickens have to be cut up for other purposes;
in such case save the wings, which cut off close to the breast, bone
them neatly, without tearing or cutting the skin, and fill up the
cavity occasioned by taking the bone out with some quenelle force-
meat of fowl; shape them neatly and parboil them, immerse them
in cold water, then drain and trim them. Line a stewpan with thin
layers of fat bacon, mince the wings therein with a ragout of parsley,
thyme, a bay-leaf, and an onion; moisten with white broth, cover
them with a round of buttered paper, and set them to boil gently by
the side of the stove for about twenty minutes, when, if the fowls
are young, the wings will be done. Then drain the wings on a
napkin, and, when trimmed, put them into a small stewpan with
some Allemande sauce.
This ragout is more generally made use of for filling vol-au-vents,
casseroles of rice, and chartreuses; it is also useful, as an accessory,
for garnishing large removes.
