Boggis's Chicken (Chicken & Dumplings) image

I love this recipe! It is from the Roald Dahl story, The Fantastic Mr. Fox and can be seen in "Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes". I suggest you try it. It is definitely worth the work. Kids will love the meal as much as they will love the story. From your friend, StinaWina, the 9 year old chef

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was a bit overcooked. Not sure what went wrong, but I'll try experimenting with the timing next time.
