FILLET OF CHICKEN, POINDEXTER

Singe, draw and then wash thoroughly a large stewing chicken and then
cook until tender. Let cool. Now cut the wings and take out the bones,
breaking as little as possible. Cut the breast into slices a little
larger than an oyster and remove the legs and thighs. Remove the bones
and then cut the meat into neat filets. If the meat breaks apart,
press firmly together and then season, roll in flour and dip in beaten
egg; then roll in fine bread crumbs. Press firmly. Fry until golden
brown in hot fat. This may be prepared early in the day and then set
in the oven to heat.

CHICKEN TAMALES

Soak the corn husks in cold water for two hours. Place in a saucepan

Two cups of chicken stock,
One teaspoon of salt,
Three-quarters cup of cornmeal.

Cook until thick mush, cool and then place in a bowl

Three-quarters cup of finely chopped chicken meat,
One onion, chopped fine,
Two green peppers, chopped fine,
Six olives, chopped fine,
Two dozen seeded raisins.

Mix thoroughly and then drain the corn husks. Spread a layer of the
corn mush on one part, place a tablespoon of the chicken filling in
place and then cover with more corn mush, forming a roll a little
larger than a sausage. Tie securely in corn husk and place in a
steamer or a double boiler and cook for one and one-quarter hours.
Other meat may be used to replace the chicken and water may be used in
place of the chicken stock to make the mush.
