I just parted out and freezer bagged two $15 freshly killed chickens we got from the local Hutterite colony today. We had all the same parts in the freezer packed and labeled from the grocery. The combined parts from the store were $27, were much smaller, and were most likely injected with water and sodium and were given antibiotics. Each chicken took only 5 minutes to part out and another 5 to freezer bag into portions. This is definitely the way to go. I can’t wait till we are slaughtering our own. #prepping #grownostr

I need to have a good to roast chicken and pan chicken recipe. Post a picture when you cook these up!
When I had a smoker I would brine 2-3 whole chickens overnight in a cooler, then the next day I'd stuff the cavity with lemon, rosemarry, onion. Then butter between the breast meet and the skin.
Even when there was pulled pork or ribs served, the chicken was everyone's favorite. I forget the smoke time, but it was faster than other meat.
Yeah I need to test out the turkey fryer I got a while ago. These chickens are now all separated into wings, thighs, drums and breasts. By weight, likely 25% better than the store bought ones.
Sounds so good.
I ate a really tasty goulash with the kids tonight...with ground beef I bought with #bitcoin!
