Ingredients:
1/4 pound salt pork, cut into strips
1 small onion, sliced
1 1/2 cups water
1 (3- to 3 1/2-pound) broiler-fryer, cut up and skinned
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry sherry

Directions:
1. Cook salt pork in a small skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. Chop finely and set aside, reserving drippings in skillet.
2. Sauté onion in drippings 3 to 5 minutes. Combine salt pork, onion, water, chicken, salt, allspice, and cloves in a Dutch oven. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from juices, and keep warm.
