Boiled Chicken

Prepare as you would a turkey. Wrap the chicken in a clean, white cloth and put in a pot with enough water to cover it; keep the pot closely covered so that no steam can escape; boil slowly until done. If young, will cook in one hour; if old, in two hours. Make a gravy from the liquor in which the chicken has been boiled, adding butter, pepper, salt and flour. Serve with pickled cauliflower.
