TAKE two fine chickens, half boil them, then take them up in a
sewer or silver dish, if you have one; cut up your fowls, and
separate all the joint-bones one from another, and then take out the
breast-bones. If there is not liquor enough from the fowls, add a
few spoonfuls of water they were boiled in, put in a blade or
two of mace, and a little salt; cover it close with another dish,
for it ever stews or cliftings with coals, let it stew till the chick-
ens are enough, and then send them to not the table in the same
dish they were stewed in.
Note, This is a very pretty dish for a sick person, or for a lying-
in Lady. For change it is better than butter, and the sauce is very
agreeable and pretty.
N. B. You may do rabbits, partridges, or more game this way.
