How many of you are grinding your own chickens and turkeys?
What parts do you use?
We have 15 birds to process tomorrow. What do you think of this plan?
1) Skinning rather than plucking. I can skin a bird in under 60 seconds.
2) Harvesting the wings and legs for slowcooking and pulling meat
3) Harvesting meat from breasts and thighs for ground chicken and turkey
4) Using the necks, backs, feet for stock.. Pulling extra meat after stock is done
5) Feeding offal to pigs
6) Saving the organs for breakfast meat
I am doing this to save room in the freezer and to mix things up a little bit. The freezer is already full of chicken carcasses and a pig that we processed last week.
Any advice on the uses for ground chicken? Do you like it mixed with a fattier pork product?
Thanks,
Austin
