A Boiled Fowl
Ingredients
Directions
Place the fowl in a large pot and cover with water.
Add salt to taste and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until the fowl is cooked through.
Remove the fowl from the pot and let it rest.
Carve the fowl by removing the legs and wings first.
Separate the merrythought and neck-bones, then slice the breast.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
