This perhaps is one of the best ways of cooking chicken for the sick. There are very good, logical, scientific reasons for using a bag or oiled paper for oven cooking of meats.

This method of cooking retains all the nutritious qualities, and the meat does not shrink or become dry, and is never greasy.

Heat the oven at least ten minutes before putting in the chicken or bird; 3000 Fahr. is just about right. Dust the chicken with salt, brush it with a little melted butter, put it in a paper bag, fold over the end of the bag and fasten it; place the bag on a grate in a pan, and at once in the oven; cook thirty-five minutes. Slide the chicken from the bag to a serving dish, and pour over the sauce.
