le menagier has a similar dish, with chicks wrapped in pastry with bacon and
spices and vinegar. we use single chicken thighs to simulate the smaller
chick...(whichh I realize isnt totally accurate...)

from le Menagier a Paris [M25]
Chicks may be placed in pastry, back down and breast up, and broad slices of
bacon on the breast; and then cover. 
Item, in the Lombardy fashion, when the chicks are plucked and prepared, have
beaten eggs, both yolks and whites, with verjuice and powdered spices, and
moisten your chicks in it: then put in pastry with slices of bacon as above.

also very tasty! especially if, like some of my household members, you think
whole sage leaves feel like a baby mouse in your mouth when you bit into
them....(I have very imaginative household members :))
