FRICASSEE OF CHICKENS, A LA DAUPHINE
Prepare a fricassee in the same manner as described in No. 968, and place the pieces of chicken when trimmed on an earthen dish; after having reduced the sauce to the consistency of Allemande, incorporate the lesson, &c., and when this is set in the sauce, pass it through a tammy into a small basin; dip each of the pieces of chicken in this, and replace them on the dish; when the sauce has become set upon them in cooling, roll them in bread-crumbs, let them be dipped in beaten egg, and bread-crumbed over again. When about to send to table, place the pieces of chicken thus prepared carefully upon the wire lining of a frying-pan, immerse them all at once in plenty of clean hog's-lard heated for the purpose, fry them of a light colour; and when done, drain them upon a cloth, dish them up on a clean napkin with fried parsley, and serve some white Italian sauce (No. 13) separately in a boat.
Note.—This entrée may also be dished up without a napkin, and some Allemande or Béchamel sauce, containing a few scallops of mushrooms or truffles, may be poured under, and round it.
