To Make an Old Fowl Tender

Ingredients

one tablespoonful of lemon juice into the water in which it is boiled
32 poultry

Directions

Put one tablespoonful of lemon juice into the water in which it is boiled. Strong vinegar may be used but is not so good. Citric acid is a better substitute — a lump the size of a large pea.
