This recipe was extracted from The Pattern cook-book (1890) by Butterick Publishing Company, page 94. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

BOILED CHICKEN. Chickens are boiled the same as turkeys. In winter there is no better way than to boil them whole and pour over them a strong caper sauce when serving. The chickens should be stuffed, well sewed, and pinned in a w'et cloth that has been generously sprinkled with flour; they are then plunged in boiling water, which should not cease boiling until the chicken is done. Allow twenty minutes cooking to a pound
