Icel<strong>an</strong>dic Chicken<br />

Icel<strong>an</strong>dic p. 218 (Good)<br />

One shall cut a young chicken in two <strong>an</strong>d<br />

wrap about it whole leaves of salvia, <strong>an</strong>d cut up<br />

in it bacon <strong>an</strong>d add salt <strong>to</strong> suit the taste. Then<br />

cover that with dough <strong>an</strong>d bake like bread in the<br />

oven.<br />

5 c flour ½ lb bacon<br />

about 1 ¾ c water 3 lb chicken<br />

fresh sage leaves <strong>to</strong> cover<br />

(or 3 T dried sage)<br />

Make a stiff dough by kneading <strong>to</strong>gether<br />

flour <strong>an</strong>d water. Roll it out. Cover the dough<br />

with sage leaves <strong>an</strong>d the sage leaves with<br />

strips of bacon. Cut chicken in half <strong>an</strong>d wrap<br />

each half chicken in the dough, sealing it. You<br />

now have two packages which contain,<br />

starting at the outside, dough, sage, bacon,<br />

chicken. Put them in the oven <strong>an</strong>d bake like<br />

bread (325° for 2 hours). We find the bacon<br />

adds salt enough.<br />

The part of the bread at the bot<strong>to</strong>m is<br />

particularly good, because of the bacon fat<br />

<strong>an</strong>d chicken fat. You may w<strong>an</strong>t <strong>to</strong> turn the<br />

loaves once or twice or baste the <strong>to</strong>p with the<br />

drippings.<br />
