    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    I am convinced that each person is different and that it's critical to find the right diet for your individual metabolism. My doctor actually revoked the diagnosis of pre-diabetic a couple years ago. He said that yes, my blood glucose response curve was abnormal but it hadn't changed in the...

    Fat-free is actually a downside for us. We do low-carb because DH is diabetic and I'm 75lbs along a quest to lose at least 100lbs, possibly up to 130lbs.

    That's DH's big problem with it. No matter how carefully I cook it, he always approaches breast meat with suspicion -- and I have to say that the only truly reliable means of it not getting dry is breading it for deep-frying as homemade chicken tenders that I cut to cook fast before it can get...

    Indeed. If we were in the same county it could work, but NC is a larger state than many people realize. :) That's what I meant about the flat. In restaurant-speak the wing consists of the drumette, the flat (the two-boned piece), and the tip (which is discarded or used for soup stock). I'd...

    One reason we're considering the ranger type chickens (we'll probably try a batch of each), is that no one in the family is too crazy about white meat (except wings). We want big, meaty thighs and I have to be creative about breasts when I buy whole chickens. Usually I make homemade breaded...

    *ponders the idea of cutting off the wing flat -- sacrificing half of my favorite piece of chicken.* Nope. Can't possibly do it. ;)

    And they make a stock that sets up firm enough to slice. :)

    DH and I are on a low-carb diet. We're supposed to eat the skin because we have to have enough fat to not feel hungry. It's not a diet for everyone, but it works for us. His A1C is much improved and I've lost 75lbs.

    I don't know about your daughter, but for me it's that distinctive, grainy, almost gritty texture. I can't swallow it.

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    I used the broomstick and I found that I got the most intense muscle spasms from the ones that had the most perfect severing of the spinal cord. That is the ones that left about a 3-finger gap in the neck without taking the head clear off (probably a 2 finger gap for a man's larger hand). I...

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    I hear you. A tiny "game hen" sized bird would barely be a snack for my nearly 6-foot, 14yo, youngest son.
