How to Cook? CornishX Experiment (16 weeks)

[fasbendera]

DH thought it would be interesting to let one of our CornishX meaties live beyond the 8-10 weeks and see how big it got. I butchered her today (16weeks) and she dressed out at 9lbs.

She spent 75% of her life free range and has been eating layer pellets. Their feeder is always full but she follows the hens outside. This is our fourth year so I am used to cooking with our CornishX just not one this old or big.

How should we cook her? Roast whole? How long and what temp.

Cut up and barbque?

Soup/Chicken & dumplings.

Sorry had this in the wrong place. Really would like input.

Roast her like a turkey? I just did a really tiny cornish cross like a turkey- kind of the exact opposite of yours! We made apple and onion stuffing and had sweet potatoes and green bean casserole on the side like a mini Thanksgiving. I think the rule for poulty is 20 minutes per pound for roasting.
Have fun!
