ROAST CHICKEN WITH WINE 
1 (4 lb.) roasting chicken, cut in half lengthwise
1/4 c. melted butter
1 c. sm. button mushrooms
1 c. cubed lean ham
1 c. sm. white onions
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. dry white wine

Put the chicken in a roasting pan, skin side up. Brush with melted butter and place under the broiler until it is golden brown. Then turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.

Arrange the mushrooms, ham and onions around the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the white wine. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and return it to the 350 degree F. oven. Bake for 1 hour.

If you like the flavor of chicken liver, cut it up raw and add it to the mushrooms, etc., around the chicken during the roasting time.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, remove the aluminum foil to recrisp the outside of the chicken. Serve piping hot. Serves 4.
