Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 12 servings

• 1 large boiling chicken, about 5 lbs
• 1 cup of chicken fat
• 6 eggs, well beaten
• 1 cup of flour
• 1.5 quarts of milk (approximately)
• Favorite bread dressing

Steps

1. Cook chicken in water until tender. Season broth with salt, pepper, a little whole allspice, minced onion and celery. Remove chicken and let broth cool. Remove chicken from the bones. Skim 1 cup fat off top of broth and to this add the 6 well-beaten eggs. Salt to taste. Mix flour with enough milk to make a thin paste. Add to the fat and egg mixture and enough more milk to make 2 quarts of this mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring until thick. Add the cut-up chicken and cool.
2. Prepare favorite bread dressing (or two packages prepared dressing). Moisten dressing with chicken broth. Place a layer of dressing in a well-buttered baking pan, then cover with chicken sauce and continue alternating layers ending with the sauce. Sprinkle bread crumbs or crushed potato chips on top. Cover with foil and bake an hour at 350F. Remove cover for last ten minutes.
