CHICKEN A LA TARTARE

Steps:

• Clean broiler and split in half.
• Melt butter in a frying pan and place the chicken in it.
• Chop parsley, onion, mushrooms and garlic; add to butter with salt and pepper.
• Cover frying pan and allow broiler to simmer for 15 minutes, turning it occasionally to absorb seasonings.
• Remove chicken from pan; dip in bread crumbs and broil until well-browned.

CHICKEN TARTARE

Steps:

• Slit the chickens up the breast and spread them out, skin side up. Flatten them with the broad side of a cleaver or your hand. Turn them over. With a sharp knife remove the breast bone and cut halfway through the backbone so that the chickens are nicely flat; this is simple to do, as the flattening process will have loosened the bones.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a couple of roasting pans with a little of the melted butter. Put a chicken in each, skin side up. Do not be put off by their rather froglike appearance. Pour over each one 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle them with 2 heaping tablespoons parsley and the scallions. Season.
• Cover with buttered wax paper or parchment and roast for about 40 minutes or until the juices run clear.
• Remove the paper and sprinkle each evenly with bread crumbs, baste with the pan juices and set the pans under a moderate grill - you will have to do one at a time, most likely - and leave them for 5 to 10 minutes to brown.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining parsley with the shallots, tarragon, chervil, mustard, vinegar and oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• When the chickens are done cut each into four and serve with the sauce on the side.
