HT Whole Chicken $.59 a lb!

I went to HT this morning after picking up #3 from school (he is sick). I figured since I was out and there is NO GAS to be purchased I had better swing by the store to pick up a few things that we need. Oh who am I kidding, we didn't need anything, but I saw the chicken on sale for $.59 a lb and suddenly wanted chicken. My dilema is that Husband can't eat chicken, though he has eaten this before it puts him in physical pain so I will throw in a pork chop for him. I think if I pull the chicken off the bone for #2 and #3 they MIGHT eat it, if the moon is full and the wind is blowing the right way. My store was out of the HT roasters so I got PERDUE for the same price! Here is what I plan on making. Chicken Fricassee with Chive Dumplings with Broccoli (was BOGO at HT) 1/3 C flour
1t salt
1t paprika
1/4t pepper
3-3.5lb chicken cut up
oil
1 c water (or chicken broth)
chopped onions
3T flour
Milk
Chive Dumplings
Mix 1/3c flour with salt, paprika and pepper, coat chicken with mixture.

Heat oil in skillet, put in chicken and brown (about 15 minutes), drain fat from pan and reserve. Add water and onions (as much as you like) cover and let cook for 30-40 minutes. Remove chicken to plate and cover, keeping it warm. Pour liquid in a 4 cup measuring cup.

Heat 3T of reserved fat in skillet, blend with 3T of flour. Cook and stir constantly until smooth and bubbly. Add enough milk to reserved liquid to equal 3 cups, pour into skillet. Heat to boiling stirring constantly, boil 1 minutes. Add Chicken.

Chive Dumplings
1 1/2 c flour
3T snipped chives (you don't have to add chives if you don't have them)
2t baking powder
3/4t salt
3T shortening
3/4 c milk

Mix dry ingredients with shortening, stir with a fork until crumbly. Add milk mixing just until combined.

Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto hot chicken. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook 20 minutes more.
