Disjoint the wing and continue boning along the wishbone. Turn the chicken over and cut along the back bone, carving out the meat from the bone. Disjoint the thigh and continue to remove the entire half of the chicken with the skin intact. Cut off the wing at the first joint leaving only the shoulder bone attached to the carcass. Scrape the meat off of this remaining wing bone to remove the bone, leaving meat and skin attached to the half chicken. Remove the thigh bone, leaving meat attached to the chicken half. Cut around the knob end of the leg, releasing the skin and the tendons. Press the leg meat and skin firmly toward the thigh so that 1 1/2 to 2 inches of the leg bone is exposed. Cut the knob off the end of the leg bone. Repeat the process with the second half of the chicken. Marinate the chicken meat for one hour in cognac, thyme and bay leaf.

-----WOMAN'S DAY; 2/1/94----- -----BASIC STEW----- 1 1/2 pounds Boneless pork shoulder 1 cup Stock 3/4 cup Onions -- chopped 1/2 tablespoon Garlic cloves -- crushed -----THIS VARIATION----- 16 ounces Corn -- NOT thawed 15 ounces Black beans; canned -- drained 4 ounces Green chiles -- chopped 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder 1/2 teaspoon Oregano leaves 8 ounces Tomato sauce 1 tablespoon Flour You may substitute lamb shoulder or beef chuck for the pork. Use beef stock for beef, chicken stock for pork or lamb. Basic stew: Trim meat of fat and cut into 1-1/2" chunks. Bring all ingredients to boil in 4-qt pot, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer 2-1/2 hours, until meat is tender. Crockpot directions: pile all ingredients into crockpot and cook all day on LOW. When done: skim off and discard fat. It takes less than 8 minutes to assemble this stew. Then you can pay it little or no attention as it simmers for about 2-1/2 hours. Make multiples of the basic stew, then divide stew into 4-serving portions; refrigerate or in airtight containers for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in microwave-safe container on defrost or in refrigerator for 24 hours. To assemble: bring basic stew, vegetables, and herbs to boil in 3-qt pot over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, whisk tomato sauce with flour until blended. Stir into stew and simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gravy is slightly thickened. This especially easy stew is also good made with beef. Because it's prepared with pantry staples, it's perfect when you don't have time to shop or chop.

1 Sheep's stomach 1 Sheep heart 1 Sheep liver 1/2 lb Fresh suet (kidney leaf fat -is preferred) 3/4 c Oatmeal 3 Onions, finely chopped 1 ts Salt 1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper 1/4 ts Cayenne 1/2 ts Nutmeg 3/4 c Stock Wash stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing. Cover heart and liver with cold water, Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking. Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon. Ceremoniously served with "neeps and nips"--mashed turnips, nips of whiskey and mashed potatoes.

1 tb Lard 1 1/4 lb Pork and beef as well as -lamb or mutton (mutton -gives An excellent flavor), cut -into 3/4 inch cubes 2 md To 3 md onions, diced Salt Freshly ground black pepper Crushed marjoram 3 md Potatoes, peeled and finely -diced 1 sm Celery root, peeled and -diced, OR 4 celery Stalks, diagonally sliced 1/2 lb Carrots, peeled and -diagonally sliced 1 lg Leek (white part only), -washed and sliced 2 c Beef stock Chopped fresh parsley Heat the lard in a heavy bottomed pot (or ovenproof Pyrex casserole or the like). Lightly sear and mix together the meat cubes and the onions; season with salt, an ample amount of pepper, and a very little bit of crushed marjoram. Remove two thirds of the meat and onions from the pot and set aside. Mix the potatoes and vegetables together; spread a third of these over the bottom layer of meat cubes in the pot or casserole. Sprinkle with salt and a little pepper. Alternate 2 more layers of meat with 2 more layers of vegetables. Each layer should be separately seasoned with salt and pepper; the top layer MUST consist of vegetables and potatoes. Pour in the beef stock. Cover tightly and cook over medium-low heat for just about 2 hours. Cooking in a 350 degrees F oven is also possible. You should not stir the stew, but you can tilt the pot back and forth to circulate the liquid and prevent the bottom layer from burning. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley. Variations: Savoy cabbage is frequently added to the roster of vegetables, and it tastes delicious. Sliced kohlrabi would be fine as well. For a truly gourmet 'Pichelsteiner', 6 to 8 slices of bone marrow should be briefly sauteed with the onions at the beginning, then added to one of the in-between layers of meat. Doubling of ingredients is advisable. Pichelsteiner tastes excellent reheated. Makes 4 servings.
