I've thought about doing that but I don't know how to cook very well. I keep the skin on them so that I don't totally burn out the juices when I broil the whole bird. How would you cook a skinned bird? Roll it in a flour mix and fry?

Anyone else have any cooking suggestions? My Roos tend to weigh between 7 and 9 pounds prior to processing. I've tried roasting and boiling. I'm not good at cooking and was getting discouraged that my birds might not be that good until a neighbor cooked one for me and he was delicious. So I figured that it was my cooking and not the birds, additional cooking attempts seem to support that as I have become better at one method of cooking them.

I have found the best way to cook anything is to slow cook in a crock pot. I've done it a million ways but for me a little fresh garlic crushed, a sprig of rosemary. throw it all in the pot put it on low and your ready to eat 3 - 4 hours later the meat will fall apart. Potatoes and onions & carrots work well too.

The older bird i harvested last week put him on the george foreman grill and quick cooked him. I was shocked but he was tender nothing added at all!

For the dark meat we have fallen in love with this new sauce we found "sriracha hot chili sauce" wow. easy recipe take legs and thighs brush a little sauce all over put in crock pot on low for 4 hours yummy. If you like hot wings you will love this.

I think you just posted at the same time as me. Great minds think alike!

Thanks Pop and Andora. I just had one of those "well duh" moments. I have a crockpot but it isn't big enough for a whole bird, but then who says that I need to cook the whole bird all at once? The legs and thighs would fit... so duh? Sometimes I amaze myself by getting stuck thinking in a rut. Thanks for the push out of that rut. I'll be experimenting in the kitchen here in the next few weeks.

We do the same thing (skin them, I mean). The first time we processed one of our chickens my husband was reading the instructions for removing the feathers and his first question was "If we don't eat it with the skin on anyway, why would I pluck it before I skinned it?" None of us like chicken with the skin on so we always just skin them. I fry skinless chicken after dredging it in a flour/spice mixture and it works just fine. Processing a bird takes 10 minutes or less when you skin it.

PM me instructions on how to process them by skinning... I coud probably do that in the house kinda like processing catfish... I do that in the house or out beside it where the hose runs... Can't process the other way because the leanto where they are kept is too far from the house to run water and electric and I don't want to go through having to set something up by or in the house... SHEW!!!
 
I think I have DH talked into skinning the roos......it is about time. He just sends them off to the swap meets.
Picked up our cow in paper bags today....can't wait to see what is for dinner tonight.

For any type of fowl you can brine them.... this will make it tender and you just rinse it off prior to cooking....

You can flavor the brine... You might also try marinating it in yougart overnight....

I'm going to skin the next time I do my extra birds.....


I've got a beautiful Great Pryenees that needs a new home..... He's 18 mths old and needs to be away from being able to see neighbors as he will bark non-stop from daybreak to dusk if he see's anyone.... we've tried everything and I hate to see him go but I can't take the hassel from my neighbors anymore.... Now he's bugging my hubby... not a good thing!!

I should have some beautiful GP puppies from the mating of the male to my female I got from BlueMerle last year around mid-April...

She's such a loving dog and I know she'll be a good mamma!

I'm going to check out Shepherdsville StockYards this Sat for the first time since October... anyone going??
