Bill Ellis BBQ

I believe that the following is a close copy of Bill's Recipe.

1 whole chicken
1 package of Atkinson's ( Thin Pastry strips or Dumplings for chicken)
both
are the same thing. Anne's also has this strips but theirs come out
thicker
and take longer to cook.
1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp Anne's chicken base
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste ( I like lots of pepper)

Cook chicken in enough water to cover, until it falls off the bone. (I use
a pressure cooker and keep under pressure for about 35 min. ) Separate
chicken from the bone and skin. I use a gravy skimmer to remove fat from
the surface of the cooled liquid which the chicken is cooked in. Place
chicken back in the liquid and add the Anne's chicken base and poultry
seasoning. Bring to a boil and place the pastry or dumpling strips into
the pot a few at a time do not stir as it will break up the strips. Use a
wooden or plastic spoon to prevent the strips from sticking together. Just
a gentle jiggle usually works. Mix the flour with a small amount of
liquid, combine thoroughly making a paste then add some of the chicken
stock, and combine. Pour into the chicken pastry mixture a few minutes
before serving. Stir gently.

After adding the pastry (dumplings to the boiling liquid cook on medium
for about 15 to 20 min be fore testing for doneness.

I have included web site for both vendors. Both have recipes. The
Dumplings must be refrigerated so I doubt that the are shippable. They may
however be in the frozen food section of your local supper market.

If not here is a scratch recipe

Slippery Dumplings

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp shortening
1/2 cup very hot water

Combine 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt; cut in shortening with a pastry
blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in hot water a fork
until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface. Roll dough to 1/16-inch thickness; cut into 1" by 3" strips.
Place into boiling chicken mixture as above. Cooking time should be the
same.
