Cut Chicken into pieces and place in Stock Pot (12 Qt. Magnalite is perfect) with 10 Cups seasoned Water. Use the entire Chicken including Giblets. Add Onions, Bell Pepper, Celery and Bay leaves. Slow Boil, covered until meat separates from bone (about 1 hour). Let cool.

Remove Chicken into large Bowl, discarding all Skin, Bones, etc. Reserve meat for later.

Make Dumplings on a large floured cutting board. Mix dry ingredients and spice. Cut in Crisco. Add Water slowly and mix making a stiff Dough. Place Dough on board, adding some Flour on top. Roll out Dumplings no less than 1/4" thick. Cut into 1-1/2" x 2" pieces.

Bring Stock back to a boil. Season to taste. Add Dumplings one at a time. Add remaining Flour from cutting board, Butter and Green Onions. Stir gently (be easy with the Dumplings). Reduce heat and simmer, un-covered for 20 minutes.

Cut Chicken into bite size pieces. Add to Stock Pot after Dumplings are cooked. Stir in Milk. Turn off heat, cover and let sit for at least 10 minutes. Lets eat!!!!!!!!!
