CHICKEN MULL

Chicken Mull

INGREDIENTS

• 1 3-4 lb. chicken
• 1 16-oz. box of soda crackers, preferably salt-free
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, to taste

1. Add chicken to a large stockpot with enough water to cover. Simmer until tender, about an hour. Remove from the pot, reserving 2 quarts of cooking liquid.
2. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and meat. Discard skin. Chop meat very finely, return it to the cooking liquid, and return the liquid to a simmer.
3. Crush crackers in their sleeves and slowly add them to the chicken and broth, one sleeve at a time, until the mixture reaches the consistency of a loose oatmeal. (Expect to use about 2 sleeves.) Season generously and serve.
