Broiled Chicken Legs

Seasoned chicken legs grilled slowly and served with bacon.

Take the legs of some cold chickens, remove the skin, cut the flesh on both sides of the bone and spread over them a preparation made of half a teaspoonful each of salt and pepper, a little cayenne, half an ounce of warmed butter and one saltspoonful of essence of anchovies, all well mixed. When this is rubbed into the meat, especially into the cuts, place them over a rather slow fire on a gridiron, and broil them for about ten minutes, turning them occasionally. They are then ready for serving. A little cooked bacon should be served with them.
