I've got a roo that was processed yesterday and I was looking at it and it looks to have hide, rather than skin and the meat seems EXTREMELY firm. Should I make chicken stew? chili? pot pies? soup? jerky? Should I soak it in something to tenderize it? Should I slow cook it for a million years until the meat falls off the bones? WWJD?
 
You could slow cook it forever, as you mentioned. We like to grind up the meat from our older birds. We then use the meat for tacos, meatloafs etc.... And we use the bones for stocks. Lots of great flavor in an old bird!
