Haressa

1 lb pearl barley
3 lb fryer

Place barley, chicken, water and bay leaves in a heavy bottomed 5
quart Dutch oven.  Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for 1 hour
over low heat.  Remove chicken from pot and remove skin and bones.
Return meat to the pot and cover it. Put in a 250 degree oven on
a sheet pan for 3 hours.  Check every 45 minutes, adding 1/2 cup
