As published

This recipe was extracted from Mrs. Roundell's Practical cookery book (1898) by Roundell, Charles Mrs, page 180. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Spitchcocked Chicken. — This is much the same as the American “ broiler,” and in each case the bird must be quite young. Spitchcock, as with Eels, means split open, and must not be spelt with an A. Split the bird through the backbone with a very sharp knife, season it very well, particularly the inside, with pepper. Then lay it flat on the gridiron with the inner pai't of the bird next the fire. See that the gridiron is hot and very thoroughly buttered

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