Deviled Chicken

Make a mixture of cayenne, salt, mustard, grated lemon peel, lemon juice, sherry wine, and Worcestershire sauce, or any other except anchovy. Cut off some slices of cooked chicken, butter, lay them in the mixture and let them soak for some time. Put sauce and all into a saucepan over the fire. Do not let it boil, and serve very hot.
