Was brousing the florethingy looking for food suggestions. Ran across this.


Coated hens (well, chicken, I guess)
One shall take hens and scald them and cut them apart and cut all the meat
from the bones, and tear it into small pieces, and boil the bones. Then the
bones are taken from the broth and the meat is wrapped around them, and
sprinkled with ground cinnamon, and put this in a batter/dough made of wheat

flour and beaten eggs, and bake it in butter or lard. That is called coated
hens.
I have here two Danish interpretations of this recipe (Hans VeirupEURs Til
taffel hos Kong Valdemar og Bi SkaarupEURs and Henrik JacobsenEURs
Middelaldermad - actually many other than Grewe have done work on these
recipes) and they vary rather widely - one suggests shaping pre-cooked
chicken meat around the bones to resemble chicken legs, then wrapping them
in a pastry dough and baking them in an oven, the other suggests leaving out

the bones, adding egg and flour to bind the meat, then to form oblong shapes

that are dipped in batter and deep-fried.
