    Cut into pieces. Reserve meaty backs and legs for baking.
  • 3
    Cook bony pieces in water for broth to make gravy and stuffing (recipe follows). Add a small amount of seasoning. Simmer until meat is tender; strain and use only the broth.
  • 4
    Sprinkle back and leg pieces with salt and pepper. Then dredge with flour.
  • 5
    Heat shortening in heavy skillet. Add meat; brown on all sides.
  • 6
    Transfer pieces to roaster; add onion and bay leaves. Cover. Bake in 350° oven for 2 hours until tender.
