Ingredients
- 3 lbs of chicken (halves or pieces)
- 1/2 lb bacon
- 3 Tbs dried sage, or fresh sage leaves
- 5 cups flour
- 1 & 3/4 cup water
- salt if desired
|
Directions
Knead together the flour & water to make a stiff dough. Roll out the dough. Place a layer of sage leaves onto the dough, then a layer of bacon on top of the sage. Wrap the chicken pieces in the dough, sealing them up (individually or as one big bundle).
The result should look like packages, with the following layers from the outside: dough, sage, bacon, and chicken in the middle.
Place them into a lasagna pan or other deep baking tray.
Bake the bundles like bread for approx 2 hours at 325 deg.
Turn the loaves once or twice during baking so that the bacon & chicken fat coat them evenly. You can also baste the top of the loaves with the fat that drips into the bottom of the pan.
