Lay out the two spleens and top each with two slices of smoked bacon and four sage leaves. Roll them up lengthwise into a spiral shape and secure with toothpicks or roulade pins. Heat the chicken broth to boiling point. Add the spleen rolls and braise for two hours, covered, on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 150°C (top/bottom heat). Let them cool in the broth and slice thinly to serve. Season with salt and pepper, and serve as an appetizer with thin slices of onion, gherkins, or radishes.
