Boiled Chicken. — Some people think that it would be impossible to boil less than a whole chicken to produce a satisfactory result. A half, or even a quarter of a fowl can, however, be prepared thus, and so both monotony and waste can be avoided. If possible, get a little second stock or veal broth to cover the chicken. If this is not at hand, an onion, a carrot, a bunch of herbs, and a few strips of bacon rind

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