TO DRESS A PRAIRIE CHICKEN. Lay the chicken on its back, head towards you; with a sharp knife cut the skin through on the breast bone; with the hands pull the skin apart down from off the breast and back, to the point of the breast bone, then cut the meat and ribs off from the back bone by running the knife from the point of the breast bone for- ward to the wing joints on both sides, and take off the entire breast, then take out each leg by skinning it and unjointing it from the body. The breast and legs of a prairie chicken are all that it is profitable to cook.
