Stoved Chicken from Great British Cooking

You remember this book, right? I enjoyed the last recipe I made, Miss McFarlane's Honey-Glazed Chicken. it was terrific and so easy.
I decided to give the book another try. I decided to cook Stoved Chicken, found on page 96 of this cookbook. For this recipe I used my dutch oven.
Here it is, finished in the pot, straight out of the oven.
Here is the recipe...

Now this recipe does call for 6 chicken pieces to equal 3 lbs. When I went shopping that wasn't that easy to find. So I purchased some dark meat, and some white meat, all on the bone.
I also added extra chicken stock 1 and a half hours before it was finished as well as 2 hours before. I also added extra tabs of butter.

Here is my scrumptious plate...
Now this is a stew, cooked in a casserole in the oven. The potatoes and onions were cooked perfectly.

Here is a quote I liked from Danielle Steele

"...what she had learned from all of them. To be honest, and descent, and work hard, to live well, and love with all your heart, no matter what the price, and never be afraid to follow your dreams, wherever they took you."

Miss McFarlene's Honey-Glazed Chicken

I know it has been a while since I have written. To start things off here is the chicken I roasted last night. It came from the book, Great British Cooking: A Well Kept Secret by Jane Garmey.
Here is a copy of my book.
Here are the ingredients.
Except for the seasoning of the salt and freshly ground pepper this is a 5 ingredient recipe. The watercress pictured is just for garnish.
Here is what the chicken looked like as it came out of the oven.
The chicken was scrumptious. I actually put extra honey on for glazing. It was so easy. The nice thing was after I took the chicken out of the oven I had an apple to munch on as well as an onion which I had stuffed in the chicken.

I am also planning to make a chicken salad with some of the chicken.

I am always interested in hearing from my readers. This is a great chicken to try if you like roasting chickens.
