Recipe Introduction


England, 15th century
Chicken glazed with a golden batter


List of Ingredients




1 whole chicken
Egg yolks
Flour
Ginger
Pepper
Saffron
Salt


Recipe



Roast the chicken until done; remove from oven. Have ready a thin batter made of the egg yolks and flour and seasoned with the ginger, pepper, saffron, & salt. Brush this over the entire chicken. Return to the hot oven and allow to cook for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove from oven. Brush the chicken once again with batter and repeated the previous procedure. Do this several times until the chicken is well covered in a yellow batter-glaze. Do not over cook this glaze as it will quickly turn brown.

Why the head is removed from the chicken in the original recipe and not the feet is a bit curious; it could be that this instruction insured that the Medieval cook did not remove what we now call the drumsticks, or perhaps the feet were left on for decoration.
