BAKED CHICKEN (CAMPING PARTY STYLE). Do not remove the feathers from the chicken. Take out the entrails and crop, making as small incisions as possible ; and cut out the vent. Stuff with half the stuffing directed for roast turkey, or if this is not con- venient, sew up the body securely without stuffing at all. Cover the chicken with wet clay, spreading it half an inch or even one inch thick. Bury the chicken in a bed of hot ashes, place coals on the top, and bake an hour and a-quarter

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
