Chicken Croquettes I
1-3/4 cups chopped cold cooked fowl
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
Few grains cayenne
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Few drops onion juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
1 cup Thick White Sauce
Mix ingredients in order given. Cool, shape, crumb, and fry same as other croquettes.

Arrange around a mound of green peas, and serve with Cream Sauce or Wine Jelly.
