Recipe - Chicken Wrapped In Prosciutto

2 tablespoon Butter; melted [a]
1 teaspoon Rosemary leaves; finely
chopped [a]
5 lg Fresh (or preserved in salt)
sage leaves, finely chopped
[a]
1 teaspoon Marjoram; finely chopped [a]
1 teaspoon Salt [a]
One fourth teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
[a]
1 Chicken (2pound) cut in 8
pieces [see above]
8 sl Prosciutto (One half pound total)

Mix [a] well. Brush onto chicken. Wrap each piece chicken in 1 prosciutto
slice. On a piece of foil large enough to enclose it all, fit the chicken
back together again. Bring the foil up to enclose the entire chicken and
seal the the top. Place the package in a terracotta casserole (like a
Romertopf) and cover lightly with lid.

Place in a cold oven and turn to 450F. Bake 105 minutes (1 hr + 45 minutes)
without opening pot. Remove from oven, let rest covered 5 minutes, then
remove lid. Use scissors to cut from center of foil outward in 4
directions, making large X. Fold each of 4 quarters back from center to
side of casserole, making flower shape. Serve hot.
