Time 4h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup ice water
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon seasoning salt, or to taste
3 ½ quarts water
½ small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
¼ cup margarine
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the skin from the breast, thigh and back of the chicken, but leave it on the legs and wings. Season chicken with seasoning salt, and place in a large stock pot. Pour in water. Add onion, celery and margarine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours, until chicken falls off the bone.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares. Drop into simmering broth, and let cook for about 2 minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking; add more water if needed. Season broth while dumplings are cooking with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and tender, and the dumplings were light and fluffy. The broth was also very flavorful.
